He is preceded in death by his wife Peggy Joyce Camp and his siblings, Buddy, Ruth, Ethel, Mary, Venny and Bill. Roy Taylor Camp was born April 5, 1933 in Tallassee, AL, the son of Alfred Bates Camp and Lelia Rayfield Camp. He graduated from Tallassee High School and went on to proudly serve his country in the United States Army. He served during the Vietnam War and retired with 20 years. Roy was married to Peggy J. Williams, who preceded him in death. Retiring from the Army, it should come as no surprise that Roy was structured. He drove a hard bargain especially when it came to ‘coon hunting”. He loved the outdoors and always managed to have fun wherever he was. His sense of humor was the catalyst to many smiles and lots of laughter. He was more than a good father; he was a great dad.
