Beloved husband of the late Ronnette Belser, loving father of Michael James Belser Camasta and Marinna Rose Belser Camasta, cherished son of Tina (nee D’Ambrosio) and the late Alexander Camasta, dear brother of Adrianne (Charles) Kihm, Chris (Michele) Camasta, Karen (David) Willey, Craig (Andrea) Camasta and Keith (Teri Miller) Camasta, fond uncle of Joe (Chrissy), Carl, Lindsey (Bob) Stuckey, Anthony, Alexis, Genna, Dominic, Luca and August and great-uncle of Nathan and Kyle.

He enjoyed being there to help and assist others; he did so without any need for anything in return. His wisdom that encompassed “It’s not what you look at that matters, is what you see” was his ability to look below the surface of any obstacle or situation that he encountered.
