After all these years, you are still in my heart.  I miss our friendly ribbings.  How we used to kid each other about our roles as the kitchen help for the different organizations we belonged to.  I treasure each encounter we had.  Love and miss you, my friend.

I am so sad to read of Joe's passing. He was my vice principal at Emerson-Bandini my first 2 years of teaching. He was so incredibly supportive and set the bar high for my expectations for future administrators. He was from the old school, when teacher were appreciated and supported by their superiors. I was so fortunate to have known him and worked with him. Love and hugs to his family! "Don't be sad it's over, smile because it happened"

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Gama's passing.He was a positive light in our school. Mr. Gama, you would have been a great kindergarten teacher, though you always would say "kindergarten was not for me." You will be missed, but your presence at Bethune will be always be felt with love.

Joe Gama was a long time neighbor, friend and a truly outstanding human being. Of course, he was also a dedicated educator, totally committed to bringing out the very best of his school, students, fellow teachers and parents.

Joe was an organizer in the neighborhood, coaching kids, decorating the neighborhood with Christmas cheer and making some of the best pozole I've ever eaten. Through the years he offered great observations on our shared human condition, in politics, education, sports (yes, he was a super Chargers fan) and just about any other subject you could think of. 

Joe was curious, with a considerable intellect, and  could engage friend or foe in meaningful conversation that was always respectful, inclusive and not judgemental. I feel a great sadness that I won't be able to discuss the world with him again.
 
My family extends our deepest sympathy to Carmen, Joey and Carlos. Joe and you all will always be in our hearts and thoughts.
