enry “Hank” McCamish Jr., IM 50, moved to Atlanta to attend Georgia Tech and never left. After a successful career selling life insurance products, McCamish founded several insurance-related companies. He was an innovative businessman and a mentor and role model to many of Atlanta’s business leaders. McCamish died June 30 in Atlanta. McCamish gave generously throughout his life, and most of his philanthropy was anonymous until recently. He contributed significantly to his alma mater, most recently to support the new McCamish Pavilion, where Tech’s basketball teams play. He served on the Alumni Association Board of Trustees, and he also provided philanthropic support to church, wildlife and public policy charities and organizations. Survivors include his wife, Margaret, who was named an honorary alumna of Georgia Tech in 2012.
