Words can't express our sympathy for the Camp family and friends. Joe will truly be missed here on earth but for Christ followers like Joe we know he is in the presence of our almighty God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Joe's kind spirit was evident when we moved across the street a few years ago and he was always a pleasure to talk with. Joe liked to keep you on your toes with his wit. He certainly "got" me often. Irene, we are just across the street so please let us know if we can do anything to help you. Love and prayers

Irene and family, so sorry for your loss. I remember the boy (Joe). Being a little sister, Joe's games were dangerous. Like the time he played darts with me. We would face each other and throw the darts at each others feet, The first one to move was a chicken. I got the dart in my foot (Ouch). There are a lot more stories too. He will be missed by all those who loved him. Our hearts are broken. I

Irene - We are so happy we got to visit with you both last June. We have wonderful memories of our time together at First Christian Church of Hoffman Estates in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Joe was one of the nicest guys we have ever known, and we loved being a part or your life when we were both starting our families. Please accept our condolences on your loss.
I recently met Joe this past year at meetings for our GOP group. His smile was so genuine and welcoming. I will miss him, and send many prayers to the family at this difficult time.
