Dracut - Joseph L. Cambray, a Dracut resident and beloved husband of Jeanne (DiFrancesco) Cambray passed away on Friday, June 21, 2024 at the Lowell General Hospital surrounded by his loving family.
Born in Lowell on February 10, 1940, he was a son of the late Adrian and Irene (Pelletier) Cambray. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps. Joe worked in industrial sales for ArcSource for over 30 years until his retirement. He was a member of Saint Michael Parish. A passionate golfer, Joe belonged to Four Oaks Country Club for many years. Growing up, Joe was a New York Giants fan, which continued throughout his life (much to the chagrin of many family members). He loved being around his family, eating, laughing and sharing memorable stories. Always relied upon for his quick wit and positivity, he made everyone feel better in his presence. His family meant everything to him, and he to them.

He was also Uncle Joe, and a second father, to several nieces and nephews whom he adored
