Henry A. Yip

Henry A. Yip was born in 1947 and devoted his career to public service. He joined the Camden Fire Department (CFD) on June 12, 1970, serving the City of Camden with distinction for over 29 years until his retirement on January 1, 2000.

Henry Yip was well-regarded by colleagues across departments. Retired Camden Police Officer Warren "Larry" Worrell recalled Henry's dedication to his fellow firefighters and his involvement with their union. Worrell noted that during their careers, Camden's firefighters and police officers collaborated closely on contract negotiations, standing united to strengthen their collective voice. He described Henry as a caring and honorable man and expressed pride in having known and worked with him.

A longtime resident of East Camden and the Cramer Hill neighborhood, Henry Yip later moved to Magnolia. He and his wife shared a full life, raising six children and building connections with an extended family and many friends. Tragically, both passed away suddenly on September 25, 2013, leaving behind a legacy of service and love that continues to be remembered by those who knew them.
