Harry E. Camp, Jr.

Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear….

Harry E. Camp, Jr., 84, of Herrick Township, passed away early on Tuesday morning, January 31, 2023 at “The Gatehouse” at Divine Providence Hospital, in Williamsport following a brief illness. Harry was born on June 8, 1938 at home in Stoney Point, Herrick Township son of the late Ethel (Casselbury) and Harry Camp Sr. He was a graduate of the Wyalusing High School Class of 1958. On April 22, 1961 he married Maxine Furman at the Warren Center United Methodist Church. He was employed for Clean-It, Inc in Owego, NY and Masonite in Wysox, PA. In 1972, Harry and Maxine started Camp’s Excavating and later added construction to their workload. For twenty-five years, Harry plowed snow as a private contractor for Penn Dot and later worked for them directly for five more years. Together, Maxine and Harry have lovingly cared for and have overseen the Camptown Cemetery for 42 years. Harry also served his community as a former Herrick Twp. Supervisor. Harry always found a way to keep busy – he enjoyed spending time hunting, fishing, camping, attending car shows, and treasured the time with family at the pond.

Harry was predeceased by his parents; his brothers and sister-in-law: Roy (Connie) Camp; Glenn Camp Sr.; sisters and brothers-in-law: Betty (Robert) Shaffer; Diana (Gary) Bacorn; and a granddaughter DeAnna Camp.
