  Eugene H. "Gene" Van Camp, 84, of Freedom, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, February 14, 2015. He was born on September 27, 1930, son of Frank and Magdeline (Biese) Van Camp. On September 3, 1952, Gene was united in marriage to Dolores Nelessen at St. Paul Catholic Church in Wrightstown. Together they raised their 11 children on the family dairy farm in Freedom where they taught their children how to work hard and enjoy life. Most importantly, they lived and shared their deep faith, as exemplified by their compassion for others, honesty and commitment to always do the right thing. Gene was a lifetime member of St. Nicholas Catholic Church, Freedom, serving as a trustee for many years. Throughout his life, Gene enjoyed working the family farm side by side with his wife Dolores and their children. In addition, he found great joy driving his bus route for Swinkles, traveling in his motorhome, the Green Bay Packers and bowling. His greatest enjoyment was time spent with family. Gene was a genuine, hardworking and faithful man who will be truly missed.
