My deepest sympathy to Richie and Heather in the passing of your Father.
I am so grateful for being able to spend time with your father and all of the Crognale family this past summer. It was a great time to reminisce of all our good times growing up in our little church and all the great fellowship.

Our Tribute To Camie
Ruthanne and I deeply regret not being able to be there with all the family to honor Camie.
When Ruthanne walked me into the DelTurco family, I also inherited the Abbonizio and Crognale family. To walk into such rich, Italian heritage, was such an honor for me.
So many things in our lives, and in our hearts shifted because of these family connections that were created.
We always admired Camie from a distance. We loved it when he led worship at church, and came to know that we could always count on him to be dressed to the nines. We were also very aware of his passion, compassion, and generosity.
It seems that he got the very best of his mom and dad.
His was a life well lived, one that cannot be ignored or forgotten.
The spiritual, legacy that he left for us, will be in our hearts forever. This reality assures that we can prepare our lives to share in the eternal glory of our God.
We are very grateful that Camie is now safely in the arms of the Lord.
Ruthanne and I will be praying for all the family and friends.
May the Lord, be with you and cover you with His peace and great favor.

Today, Bro. Camie Crognale came to mind, only to discover online that he was called home to be with the Lord last month. It has been decades since I have seen him or any member of the Crognale family, but I want to extend my sincerest condolences and warm regards to Richard and Heather, who may have some memory of me as the son of one of their former pastors in Beaver Falls. I will always remember Camie’s spirited and devoted service as a song leader and choir director at the Christian Assembly in the years of my father’s pastorate. As I recall, he was a parishioner well-loved by my parents and appreciated for his faithful service and kind and loving manner. We are assured that Camie has entered into the presence of the Lord Jesus and that he joyfully awaits the great day of resurrection when our Lord himself will come to judge the living and the dead, and his saints–including Bro. Camie–receives his glorified and eternal resurrection body and enters into eternal fellowship with our Risen Savior and all of his saints. My parents, Louis and Clara DeCaro, died in 2009 and 2020, respectively. Grace and peace to all who call upon the name of the Lord, and it is my prayer that Richard and Heather and their loved ones will know the comfort of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Yours truly, Dr. Louis A. DeCaro, Jr., New York City
