Dr. Camillo was a highly regarded and beloved member of the Attending Staff of the Department of Dental Medicine at the Westchester Medical Center and New York Medical College. He was a mentor and educator to many residents and I personally looked forward to his guidance both professionally and in life. The Faculty join with me in offering our most sincere condolences to Mrs. Shirley Camillo and his family.
