Uncle John was a very special man and truly a gentle man. We spent many holidays and special occasions together throughout the years and had so many wonderful memories. His home was always open to everyone and we had a lot of laughs together. He was especially kind and comforting to my mother after my Dad passed away and she treasured his friendship. Thanks to Aunt Ida and the whole Cammarasano family for sharing Uncle John with us. I loved him and I'll miss him.

John Cammarosano was my grandfather and I loved him dearly. Every moment I spent with him was a pleasure, whether it was watching a Yankees game, celebrating a holiday, or having a visit with him. I am proud to be his grandson and even prouder of all the great things he did for his family and country and for the time spent together. He will be forever loved and never be forgotten. Thanks for everything Gramps!

The character of a good man can always be found in his children if he's done the job right. Mr. C. did the job right. His son, my friend, is a wonderful person. Way to go, Mr. C.! You will be missed.
