Harold Gascamp

Harold Henry Gascamp was born to Minna Louise Iselt Gascamp and Friedrich Phillipp Heinrich Gascamp on June 17, 1929. Pastor Biar baptized him into the family of faith July 21, 1929 at St. Mark Lutheran Church. He was confirmed at this altar on April 18, 1943 by Pastor Buchschacher. He was a member of St. Mark Lutheran Church for all his 91+ years of life.

Harold served his beloved church in many ways over the years including serving as Sunday School Superintendent and on the Board of Elders and various committees, teaching Vacation Bible School and Saturday Storytime and was very involved in the Hispanic ministry. For over 25 plus years of his later life he served as Church Secretary at St. Mark Lutheran Church.

Harold attended St. Mark Lutheran School and graduated from Waco High School. Subsequently, he served his country in the United States Army in post WWII Germany.

After retiring from General Tire as a production scheduler, Harold earned an Associate of Applied Sciences degree in Audio Visual Production Technology from Texas State Technical College in Waco. Playing with automation, music, photography, and videography was a source of great joy for him.

Harold was preceded in death by his parents, Minnie and Henry Gascamp, and by his brother-in-law, Eugene Heckmann. He is survived by his former wife Eva FitzGerald; by his children Lisa and Lex Ready, and Damon Gascamp; and by his sister Joyce Heckmann; as well as by countless cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Harold Henry Gascamp passed away this past Sunday afternoon, July 12, 2020. Now he lives for all eternity with his and our Father in heaven.

To God be all the glory!
