Thomas Camp was the kind of person everyone should try to be; someone to be truly admired for his sincerity, bravery, honesty, intelligence, loyalty, courage, sense of humor and wisdom. He was a dedicated family man, good and faithful Husband, wonderful Father and especially loving Grandfather.

He lived his life to the fullest and was always kind, thoughtful, caring and considerate of others. He was patriotic and proved it by serving his Country first in the Marines, then the U.S. Navy and finally in the U.S. Air Force. He fought in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He was truly an Angel here on Earth that God called Home on December 18, 1998. 

I shall miss him with all my heart each and every day of my life. Since his passing, I have not been the same. He was my best friend, protector, Hero and Father. My Dad was a very special man with the most wonderful sense of humor and zest for life. Losing him to Lung Cancer was the most heartbreaking and difficult thing I've ever had to experience in my life. 

I remember when I was talking to him in his Hospital Room and started crying without warning, the tears just came and wouldn't stop. My Dad immediately called for a Nurse, not for him you see, but for me. That's how very thoughtful and caring he truly was. Right up until the end he was thinking of others. 

He used to make jokes whenever someone came to see him in the Hospital. At one point, he had everyone laughing themselves silly. Can you imagine that? Here he was, dying and in unbearable pain and he was entertaining others to take their sadness away! That's my Dad for you, the man I am so very, very proud of and will always miss. 

This Memorial is dedicated to honor you Dad and all that you were to me. I will always love you and miss you with all my heart and I take comfort in knowing that you are with God and no longer in pain. God Bless and keep you safe in His love. 

Until we meet again I will try very hard to follow in your footsteps but you are one tough act to follow Dad. You are my "Sunshine" and the "Light of My Life" and always will be. 

Dad, I want you to know that Mom, Vincent and I miss you with all our hearts. As your favorite personality and speaker - Bishop Sheen would say, "Bye now, and God Love You." 

Your loving Daughter,
Laura Hayes.
