Obituary of Glenn Van Camp
With family by his side, on Thursday, December 19, 2024 at the Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry, at the age of 90. Glenn was predeceased by his wife, Donna (nee Dowson). Theirs was a love story for 68 years. He was the devoted son of Harry and Edna Van Camp of Blackstock and father to Bill (Norma), Robert (Cindy) and Paul (Kim). He was adored by his dear grandchildren Mark (Sara), Joel (Rhea), Dean (Sarah), Marta (Tony), Katie (Craig), Alison (James), Emily (Joshua), Molly (Allan), Eric (Nicole), Alex (Lindsay) and Andrew. Thanks to his longevity, he was privileged to have known his 16 great grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brother Art (Val) and nieces Janice, Jill, and Jayne and nephew David and he was predeceased by Wayne.
Glenn was the founder of Van Camp Contracting in 1956. A lifetime of his hard work, dedication and business integrity laid the foundation for what is currently a third-generation business. Glenn was always civic minded and gave back through involvement with various service clubs, charities and by serving on many boards during his lifetime. His contributions to his community were many and often anonymous. During his retirement, Glenn was finally able to indulge in his personal passion: harness racing. His beloved racehorses brought him great pleasure and excitement in his later years. His was a life well lived.
The family would like to thank Dr. Bibby and the caring staff at Oak Ridges Hospice for all their compassion in easing our father’s final days and to Wagg Funeral Home for their professional and personal handling of arrangements at the end. Thank you, as well, to the staff at Westshore who grew to know and sincerely care for both our parents in their final home.
A celebration of Glenn’s life will be held at the Port Perry Legion on Sunday, January 26th from 1 – 5 p.m. with remembrances at 2 p.m. If desired, memorial donations may be made to The Port Perry Hospital Foundation or Oak Ridges Hospice.
