I just wanted to Thank MY Friends and Family for your support love and prayers over the last 3 months for Joe's Dad MY Father In Law. John Camodeca. He was an Awesome Father In Law, Fantastic Father to Joe and Erica and a loving husband I tell Joe all the time he is like his Father in so many ways they are both the energizer bunny full of energy, very loud , ( South Philly Thing ) lol never stops, both will do anything for anyone. When my husband was in a motorcycle accident a few years back his Dad was by his side every step of the way. He went above and beyond for me while his son was in critical condition he was worried about my car took time out to take my car to get fixed so I would be safe traveling back and forth to see Joe. Anytime we visited John and Diane in wildwood they would go above and beyond for anyone they welcomed with open arms.He would make sure he had a fridge freezer and cabinets full of your favorites. Don't ever let him know you like anything because you will get it for the rest of your life in bulk (LOL). He never missed a day with Joe in the hospital after his accident he was there everyday all day. His wife was sick and needed a liver transplant last year he was with her every step of the way every single doctors appointment, bloodwork , scans, and countless ER visits driving back and forth to Jersey to Phila everyday while Diane was in recovery. He enjoyed the holidays and just like Joe has enough food to feed an army and then some. When Joe and I met he opened his arms heart and house not only to me but my family as well. Welcoming us to their Christmas Eve Traditions of 7 fishes and Pizza for Diane and I ( non seafood eaters ) Lol He would bake so many cookies trays for family friends neighbors. That is the kind of man he was. There was an older man who worked at the condo John and his wife lived at, everyday he would pick this man up and drop him back off at home it did not matter the time, wheather, etc.. He made sure this man never had to walk or go without. He always included MY son and daughter in law and Nick's mother in law in all family events. With my parents both gone it was nice to have that family love back .
He also loved WAWA so their stocks will be going down now. he was there everyday faithfully as well. We would wake up early on a Saturday or Sunday morning where is John ??? Wawa lol . He never missed a family event including my son's wedding last year at the time my Mother In Law was sick waiting on a liver and he drove there making sure Diane was comfortable and they did not miss the wedding which was above and beyond kind and generous letting us know we were that important. The first year I was with Joe his Dad was so excited for me to see the fireworks over the beach in wildwood always made sure we had a great viewing spot. JUST THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE THAT MEAN SO MUCH. His love for his family was huge. He would always give us gossip on new TV series to watch. And ask what we thought about them. All excited to hear you loved it too. EXAMPLE TULSA KING . He was a man who brought life to a room. He will be sorely missed by many. Thank you Mr C. For welcoming me into your family with open arms and an open heart please be looking down on Joe Erica and Diane to give them Strength, Courage , and the ability to go on remembering all the good times and finding ways to go on without you by their sides physically we know you will be their spiritually Love you Mr C. Rest Easy and know Joe Erica and Diane have me by their side through it all. Please give everyone in heaven a hug for me now that you finally got to meet my parents. fly high and keep shining
