Thank you for sharing about John with us. What a beautiful soul that lived a full and inspirational life. We should all aspire to learn from John's story about how to live our best lives with joy and be in service to others and our families.  My deepest condolences on the loss of both John and Joyce. I didn't get the chance to leave a comment on her obituary, so I will leave a note of sympathy here for the two of them. They are together once again in heaven. May God give all of you peace in...

I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. We had heard he was sick. He was a great godfather to me. I loved spending birthdays with him, your mom and the rest of the family. Our family get-togethers were always a lot of fun. I know what it's like to loose a dad, but I love having memories of him. Love, Cris

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Camera. His obituary tells the story of the good life he lived. My family and I were their next-door neighbors on Tyler Street in the 1960's. My sincere condolences to the Camera family.

The first time I had the great pleasure of meeting John Camera was when I came to visit Anita Way with my college roomie, Joan Camera. He greeted me with a big glass of red wine and a hug, and I was smitten! Fast forward to my wedding day, with Joan as maid of honor, when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle, his joyous voice loudly proclaimed `BEAUTIFUL´!! Loved it!! He was the BEST!! He set the tone and had the extraordinary ability to connect with anyone, and make them feel `at home´...

I spent most of my early life living next to the Camera clan on Anita Way. My memories of Mr. Camera were of him always laughing and smiling- seeming to love life and his family. Many fond memories of our families gathering in the Camera family room to watch Laugh-In and tagging along as young kids to Trenton High while our parents played tennis. My condolences to my long ago best friend Joanie and the entire family.
