William Camp
William Camp, 81, of Pine Township, formerly of Beaver Falls and Rochester, went home to be with the Lord Tuesday.
Born June 5, 1936, in Beaver Falls, he was the son of the late Louis and Mary Grace Camp.
He was the loving husband to Sandy (Squires) Camp for 58 years.
William was a 1954 graduate of Beaver Falls High School and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. He also was an active member of Victory Family Church.
A lifelong entrepreneur, he and his late brother, Jim, opened Fast & Friendly Food Store in Beaver Falls during the late 1960s, which grew into a chain of convenience stores located throughout Beaver County. He then purchased and operated several supermarkets in Beaver County before finally building and operating the Rochester and Chippewa Giant Eagles. He sold his businesses in the early 2000s to spend more time with his family.
He enjoyed running his businesses and was an avid golfer. But nothing was more important to him than his family and serving others. His passion was to help people in any way that he could. From charitable donations to buying lunch for a stranger, his heart was always there to help others.
He is survived by his wife, Sandy (Squires); five children, William Jr. and his wife, Joelene, and their daughter, Mia, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Steven and his children, Alexis, Steve Jr., and Anthony, of Kissimmee, Fla.; Chris and his wife, Julie, and their daughters, Courtney, Christa, Camryn and Cassidy, of New Brighton, Pa.; Alicia Tresky and her children, Caleb and Joshua, of New Castle; and Kevin and his wife, Mindy, and their children, Marissa, Michael and Gianna, of Beaver; his sisters, Philomena Costanza of Aliquippa, Rita Brown and her husband, Danny, of Cornelius, N.C., and his brother, Louis, of Cornelius, N.C.; as well as many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Nick and Jim Camp; two sisters, Toni Piccalo and Mary Demassa; his brothers-in-law, Pete Costanza and Johnny Piccalo; and his sisters-in-law, Alda, Donna and Dagne.
