Wilbur Clyde Cammauf, 95, of Lititz, passed away on Monday, March 16, 2020, at Lancaster General Hospital- Penn Medicine.
He was born in Talmage to the late LeRoy, Sr. and Harriet (Berkinbine) Cammauf and was the husband of the late Betty Lou Cammauf who passed away in 2011.
He was a member of Salem United Methodist Church, Rothsville. He loved the Lord and his church, where he was a trustee for over 25 years.
Wilbur served his country during WWII, stationed in France and Germany with the Army of Engineers. He worked for Miller and Hess Shoe Factory in Akron for 25 years before starting Wilbur C. Cammauf Paper Hanging and Painting. After retirement, he kept the neighborhood of Millport in order. He was known as the “Mayor of Millport,” whether he was delivering apples to the shelter in Philadelphia with Ivan Lutz or riding in Ken Capper’s helicopter.
