L. Raymond Camp

Ray grew up in Gibbon, Nebraska, the son of Leon and Edna Camp. He received a B.A. from the University of Sioux Falls in South Dakota, an M.A. from Indiana University, and a PhD from Penn State University. Ray was a Professor in the Department of Communication at NCSU for 30 years and is the author and editor of numerous scholarly articles and books. He is a former president of the Carolinas Communication Association.

Ray was an active member at Greenwood Forest Baptist Church in Cary, NC, where he was a Deacon, Sunday School teacher, choir member, and served on many committees. He enjoyed volunteering and sat on the first Board of the Triangle Aphasia Project Unlimited, an organization that was particularly important to him as he faced the challenges of living with aphasia after a stroke.

Ray is survived by his college sweetheart and beloved wife of 58 years, Carolyn Henning Camp; son, David Camp of Cary; daughter, Susan Stocks and husband Wayne of Arlington, VA; brother, Warren and wife Joyce of Minneapolis; and grandchildren, Christopher, Sydney, and Allison Stocks.

A service celebrating Ray’s life will be held Saturday, October 21 at 3pm at Greenwood Forest Baptist Church. Visitation and a reception will be held immediately following the service in the church fellowship hall.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Triangle Aphasia Project Unlimited, which has set up the L.
