Gift Will Benefit Students for All Time

here are some people in this world

who simply cannot be persuaded
not to give. Such was the case with
Hilary Kampf-Captain, a former
student of Capilano College who died
at the age of 35 on September 13, 1995.

“Hilary’s greatest joy in life was
giving,” says his mother, Helga
Captain. “He was always giving — of
his time, his spirit, and with thoughtful
gifts to family members and friends.
Using his grandfather’s humility as an
example, he combined the generous
ideals of family and friends within
himself.”

Those ideals and Hilary’s generosity
led to a legacy that will benefit
countless numbers of people in the
years to come. His final wish was that a
bequest be made in his name to the
Capilano College library.

“He was so at home at the College,
sitting among the books in the beautiful
new library,” his mother recalls. “He said
he didn’t want his name on a stone in a
cemetary, yet would rather have it seen on
the library’s donor wall.”

The morning Hilary died, his family
went directly from his bedside to the
College to make his request a reality.
Today, only three months later, the
library’s donor wall bears the inscription:
“In loving memory of Hilary Kampf-
Captain, 1960 - 1995, from the family
Dorab, Helga and Karsten.”

“‘We’re very honoured that Hilary felt
so strongly about the library and that he
wanted to make a lasting contribution,”
says acting College librarian, Maureen
Witney. “All bequests, such as the
Captain’s, go directly towards books and
benefit students for all time.” i
