January 31, 2022 at 3:58 pmOh Cam, thank you for all the fun memories. I will never forget the 24th of July my family joined you and we watched the stadium of fire from your rooftop. You were crazy, silly and full of life looking back I was irritated my mom and dad were making us go hang out with this guy from my mom’s work, however watching on your drum set and the wicked cars you had stored and is one of my favorite memories. RIP my friend see you on the other side. xoxo

February 14, 2022 at 7:50 amCam and I met in Navy bootcamp in 1967. We were inseparable for the next 9 months through Great Lakes Naval Hospital Corps School and then Camp LeJeune North Carolina Field Medicine School. We kept in touch for another 10 years, but life happened and we eventually went our own ways. I’ve never forgotten the frenetic energy that drove Cam day in and day out. Thanks for the memories. Cam, you were unique. Peace to you my friend.
