Alexander L. Camasta, 83, of Hummelstown, passed away after a long and courageous battle on December 28, 2013 in the M.S. Hershey Medical Center with his loving family by his side.

He was born July 19, 1930 in Elizabeth, NJ, son of Dominic and Grace (Pestrichella) Camasta.
Alex had a life-long career serving our country, having served in the Air National Guard, Merchant Marines, and the Army during the Korean War. After marrying and moving to Central PA, he worked at Olmstead Air Force Base and later at the Mechanicsburg Navy Ships Parts Control Center as a Contracts Negotiator until retiring in 1985. Combined, he had more than 35 years of federal service. He and his wife were owners of Camasta's Drive In restaurant in Hummelstown from 1970 - 1980.

Memberships include St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church, where he served as a Eucharistic Minister, the Hummelstown Optimist Club, and the New Jersey Club of Timber Pines in Spring Hill, FL. Above all, he was a devoted husband and intimately involved with his children's and grandchildren's lives and will be missed by all for his stories, advice, wit, and laughter.

Alex is survived by his caring wife of 60 years, Tina (D'Ambrosio) Camasta; two daughters, Adrianne Kihm (Charles) of Middletown and Karen Willey (David) of Hummelstown; four sons, Mark, Esq., of Lyons, IL; Chris (Michele Knisely) and Keith (Teri Miller) both of Hummelstown; and Dr. Craig Camasta (Dr. Andrea Cass Camasta), of Marietta, GA; Grandchildren, Joseph Kihm (Chrissy) of Harrisburg; Dr. Carl Kihm of Atlanta, GA; Lindsey Stuckey (Robert), Anthony Camasta, Alexis and Genna Willey, all of Hummelstown; Michael and Marinna Camasta of Lyons, IL; and Dominic and Luca Camasta of Marietta, GA; and Great Grandchildren, Nathan and Kyle Stuckey of Hummelstown. He is also survived by two sisters: Mary Lima of Ocala, FL and Ann Mullen of Cranford, NJ, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Joseph, and a daughter in-law, Ronnette Belser Camasta.
Recitation of the rosary will be on Thursday, January 2, 2014, at 5:30 pm followed by a viewing from 6 - 8 pm, and also on Friday from 10-11 am in the Hoover Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc., of Hershey. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, January 3, 2014 at 11:30 am in St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church, 359 West Areba Ave., Hershey. Interment with military honors will be in the Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Heart of the Parish Fund, c/o St. Joan of Arc Church, 359 W. Areba Ave. Hershey, PA 17033.
