Joseph Camacho Obituary

JOSEPH J CAMACHO Sept 29, 1925 - October 23, 2015 Joe was born in Lowell Massachusetts to Joe and Rosa Camacho. He was one of six children. He moved to Santa Cruz in 1931. He served in the Marine Corp from 1944-1946 and then met his wife of 35 years, JoAnn. They moved to Humboldt County in 1951 where he built his own home and raised his sons Joe and Terry and daughter Karen. He worked in the lumber industry for 31 years. After his wife's passing in 1985 he met Glenna Lee and shared 20 happy years together. We wish to give special thanks to all of his friends at Babe's Pizza - his "home away from home". Military service will be held Thursday October 29th at 2:00 PM at Ocean View Cemetery. Please sign the guestbook at www.times-standard.com under obituaries.

Joe Camacho Sr. a smiling proud man. The vision I have of him coming down the hill in his pickup truck complete with big rig diesel smokestacks in the bed. He'd come out beaming with a firm handshake only a ww2 era man could give. He leaves a proud legacy in Joe Jr. without who's heroism a mother and son would have died prematurely in a fiery car wreck: and in Terry who personifies his father's work ethic and acts of kindness. Karen I have not had the honor of knowing. As in the classic film from his era "It's a Wonderful Life," "One man's life touches so many other lives." May God keep him.

I've known Joe for several years through the senior center. Often I'd also visit with him at Babe's Pizza in Cutten.

Every time I saw him he'd give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Such a sweet and kind man and I'll truly miss him!

My condolences to the whole family. RIP dear Joe!
