David Guy "Doc" Camarata

Although I didn't see Dave as much in recent years, our families met through church and spent a lot of time together in the past. While the adults were always huddled in one room during getogethers, Dave had the tendency to slip away and play games with us kids. I always thought he was a great guy and at one point my dad and I nicknamed him "Super Dave", I don't know why, but it seemed to stick and he got a kick out of it. He was undoubtably one of my favorite people and I always hoped I might be like him someday. He was such a likeable guy, it was really something to be admired.
When I turned 16 and got my license, I used to drop in and visit Dave and Brenda and they would drop in and visit us as well. I always really enjoyed those visits.
One of my later memories of Dave was our gender reveal party. Everyone was to wear blue or pink to "vote" for your preferred gender outcome. Dave shows up wearing a pink shirt and all kinds of pink accessories. I think he had pink socks if I can remember. I start giving him a hard time and without missing a beat he says, "Let me tell you man, girls are awesome. My girls have just made me so happy over the years - happier than you would believe." Of course I know he was telling the truth. He has two wonderful daughters that have been my friends for years. I hope the family knows how much I care about them and that I'm thinking about them and I'm always here if you need me.

The Ford family will so miss David´s laughter at our Euchre card nights. We absolutely loved riding bikes together on the Pennsy trail together too. He was a good man who worked hard to provide for his family. Hugs go out to the Camarata family.

Thinking of you and the girls often.
