Camden R. "Cam" Toler
Camden R. "Cam" Toler, 73, of Hillsboro, passed away Feb. 14, 2025 at Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus with his family by his side.
He was born Sept. 14, 1951 in Danville, Va., the son of the late Claude Woodrow Toler and Hilda Ann (Osborne) Pruitt.
On April 10, 1988 he married Julie (Vance) Toler.
Cam moved to Ohio in 1969-70 while working on the wiring for the newly built Hobart factory. In 1972, he joined Bell’s Foundry, where he remained until its closure. A skilled and resourceful worker, Cam was instrumental in keeping machinery running, often crafting custom parts when none were available and designing innovative solutions to improve both efficiency and safety. Following the foundry’s closure, he continued his career with Kenny Davis Homes and CCPI in Blanchester. One of his most remarkable engineering feats was dismantling a three-story barn on McCoppin Mill Road, transporting it around Rocky Fork Lake, and successfully reconstructing it on East Shore Drive for Robby Roberts – a task deemed impossible by engineers, yet one he accomplished with determination and ingenuity. Beyond his professional skills, Cam was always willing to help those in need, often offering his electrical expertise to those who couldn’t afford the costs. Cam enjoyed hunting, fishing, cooking over an open fire and on a grill, and watching action movies. He loved spending time with his family.
Surviving are his wife, Julie Toler; five children, Adam W. (Tonya) Michael of Hillsboro, Sarah M. (Chris) Riley of New Vienna, Chris (Tina) Reinhardt of Minford, Calif., Chad (Cynthia) Reinhardt of California and Chane Reinhardt of Minford, Calif.; special granddaughter, Hannah L. Riley; grandchildren, Abby E. Riley, Iva Faye Michael, Brandon Reinhardt, Krista King, Autumn Reinhardt and Kayleigh Reinhardt.
In addition to his parents, Cam was preceded in death by three brothers, Wayne, John and Joseph Toler; twin sisters, Susan Lovelace and Virginia Manring; and a grandson, Tyler Michael.
