Not sure what to say?

When I think of Joe, I always have a big smile on my face. He was just that way. He was an RA in Willard Hall when I was the head Resident. He was also my assistant for a year when I became a Program Coordinator for the Residence Halls. Joe was a very positive person with the ability to bring people together. Joe was really the best. I miss him, but I´m grateful for having him in my life. Joe La Camera

I only met him once or twice under stressful circumstances over 40 years ago, but he made a comment that I will remember forever for his kindness. The comment comes unbidden to me when I least expect it and most appreciate it. You must miss him so much.

I just happened on Joe's obituary as I was looking him up online to contact him about some legal advice and discovered that he had recently passed. I am shocked and dismayed! Joe was my attorney in the mid 80's; after moving away, I did not have contact, but thought, often, how fortunate I was to have had him as my lawyer; not only was he professionally astute, but he was kind and sensitive about the emotion involved in the circumstances and decisions that needed to be made. I trusted him...

Erika, Kate & Jennifer...our heartfelt sympathy reaches out to you girls in this time of the loss of your dad & my uncle...stay strong, he will always be with us...God bless

I didn't get to know Joe well. I met him once. What I do know is he shared a special, wonderful piece of him. He allowed Kate into my life. I love Joe for giving me a piece of him with Kate. RIP Joe

I know how much your dad meant to you girls and what a wonderful father he was. I'm so glad you were able to create so many amazing memories. Much love.

Dear Erika, Kate, and Jennifer,
Your Dad was my assistant in Willard hall during the 1960's and was a joy to work with at a time of great stress on campus. He could always bring people together and was my link to our students in the residence hall. We will all miss him. Even though Deanna and I will not be in town on Sat. Dec. 8, we will be with you in spirit and love. Joe & Deanna La Camera

I have known Joe since we were CU Law classmates-A great fun guy-John W Miller
