DeCamp and is survived by his beloved sister Jane DeCamp Stanton, Emily, a niece, John, a nephew, their families, and many friends. He was born and grew up in Cincinnati and graduated from Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio. As a conscientious objector John served with the Mennonites in their Pax program set up to address the problem of housing refugees in Germany after W.W.II. He served from 1956 to 1958, working first in Germany building houses, then in Vienna, Austria, where he helped settle refugees from the Hungarian Revolution who were driven out of Hungary by Russia. He was transferred to Berlin to be the liaison between the refugees and the agencies placing them. Thereafter he apprenticed in Buffalo at the Schlicker Organ Company and became a voicer of their instruments. He moved to San Francisco in 1964 and represented the firm there. In San Francisco he was a member of the Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist where he redesigned and rebuilt an early 20th century organ, and was a regular helper at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Worker House. He was a longtime member of the Organ Historical Society and of the American Guild of Organists John retired and moved to Saratoga Springs, New York in 1995 where he served as a Literacy Volunteer and where he could be found regularly opposing the war in Iraq. In life and death he was a generous supporter of humanitarian causes, including the National Resources Defense Council, Wooster College, The Fellowship of Reconciliation and the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of California. It is in this spirit that he has donated his body for medical purposes. Services to celebrate John are to be planned. He will be memorialized at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, with his parents. May he rest in Peace.
