In the early morning hours of November 19, 2020 our family lost, but heaven gained, a bright and shining North Star. Morris Robert Van Campen was born in Columbus, Mont. on January 2, 1939. His proud parents were Alice (Guthrie) and Marion Van Campen. He joined his older brother James, and the family was surrounded by a loving number of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and life-long friends, each nurturing the others through good times and bad. The young family lived in Reed Point, Montana and ranched out on Countryman Creek, where the young boys, along with numerous cousins and friends, enjoyed roaming the surrounding hills and valleys along the beautiful Yellowstone River.
