The League extends our condolences to Jeff Cammack’s family and friends, and of course, to his credit union family at Bangor Federal. Cammack joined the Board at Bangor Federal in 2006 and most recently served as the Vice-Chair. He also was a member of the credit union’s Finance Committee and Facilities Committee, where he served as chair, and was instrumental in the construction of the Venture Way location.
“Jeff was as a tremendous advocate for me personally, and for the overall credit union movement,” said Basil Closson, President and CEO of Bangor Federal Credit Union. “He embodied the credit union People Helping People philosophy and his dedication and support will be greatly missed.”
(Obituary text as listed in the Bangor Daily News) – Jeffrey Alan Cammack was born 4-25-57 in the city of Bangor to Ralph E. Cammack and Laurie T. (Paul) Cammack. At age 62, Jeff went home to our loving heavenly father on 12-28-19.
Jeff was a BHS 1975 graduate. He joined the swim team and the football team. He, with his childhood friend, E.K., and the Bangor High School football team, left many wonderful memories. Jeff joined the forestry program at the University of Maine in Orono after graduating high school. In the summer of 1977, he met Carmen at the Bounty in Bangor. In the month of April 1978, they were married. In their apartment on Maple Street in Bangor, their first daughter, Jessica Joy, was brought home. In their first home on Grove Street Court, April Lynn, their second daughter was brought home. In 1993, they moved to their dream home on Phillips Lake in Lucerne-In-Maine, which Jeff and many beloved friends, family, and fire fighters helped them to build. Family is everything to Jeff. The Ralph Cammack family was amazing. I first met them when they lived on Frazier Street on a Friday night. There was a pepperoni and mushroom pizza on the coffee table with a green salt shaker in the box. The salt shaker now sits on our breakfast nook table. If you messed with one of them on Frazier Street, you messed with them all. They were all aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents that lived on that street. Family. That is why family has been so important to Jeff.
Joining the fire department was natural for Jeff. Another family.
Jeff leaves behind his wife of 42 years, Carmen; his daughter, Jessica and husband, Matthew DeGrasse; daughter, April Cammack; and three beloved grandchildren, Alexis, Jack, and Mya; brother, Joey; his sister, Julie; his “boy,” Ralph; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Those wishing to remember Jeff in a special way may contribute in his memory to Eastern Maine Community College, Fire Science Scholarship, 354 Hogan Rd., Bangor, ME 04401.
