RAY CAMMA, SR., a proud Veteran, age 94, formerly of Bedford, passed away peacefully on December 13, 2024. He was the beloved husband of the late Elvera “Ellie” Camma, with whom he shared 67 beautiful years of marriage. Ray was the devoted and proud father of Cindy Camma and Raymond Camma, Jr. (Anita); cherished grandfather of Raymond, III (Margaret), Vinny (Emily), and Dominic Camma; proud great-grandfather of Raymond Camma, IV; and dear brother of Albert Camma (wife Becky, loving ex-wife Sherry).

A true family man, Ray’s greatest joy was spending time with his loved ones. He adored Ellie’s cooking and looked forward to every meal they shared together. His devotion to Ellie was unmatched—Ray brought Ellie a single rose every Saturday night throughout their marriage, a gesture of love he never missed. Ray was a barber for over 50 years, and his shop was much more than a place for haircuts. It was a place to hang out, tell stories and talk sports - camaraderie thrived. Ray’s wit, warmth, and storytelling turned every visit and family event into a cherished memory. Ray was also a lifelong bowler who bowled an 800 series and a few 279’s (superbowl of bowling). Another huge accomplishment was that he donated over 7 gallons of blood to the Red Cross over his lifetime.

A lifelong Cleveland sports fan, Ray especially loved the Cleveland Indians. He was also a steadfast supporter of his son Raymond’s football coaching career, eagerly discussing every play and strategy while celebrating both victories and challenges.

Ray will be deeply missed every day by his family and friends.
