Dear Aunt Carolyn, Leslie, David and Susan,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I have the fondest memories of him on Herrick Road and West Point. He was such a great friend to my father who loved him so much.
I am thinking and praying for you all.
With Love,
Anne Cameron Cunningham

Carolyn, Herb and I have such a happy memory of visiting with you and David in Tallahassee years ago. We were all there to visit Mama (your Aunt Ellen). I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for you two. What a special man David was.

"Colonel" Cameron, as I knew him for many years in the Math Dept at West Point, was one of my mentors and my inspiration to teach and serve. He taught me how to teach. What a fine man and leader. --- Chris Arney

Our heart is very sad for the loss of the General. Dave was larger than life to me and I was always taken with his wonderful demeanor, good humor and intellect. I have vivid memories of his loving interaction with his mother, beloved Clara, and with his sister, Barbara. She revered her brother, that was always clear and he so respected our precious Cam (who he always called by her given name).

His love of family, country and his students at West Point define a beautiful life that most assuredly made a difference in this world. May God bless and keep him close, well done good and faith servant. Rest In Peace.

Many thoughts and prayers are with Carolyn, Dave, Leslie and Susie and all your family.

David, (Carloyn)
It's been one of our privileges in life to get to know you. And just because you are gone, you won't be forgotten.
One of my best memories of you was the way you gave the nurses hell, whenever you were at the hospital. An Army General and a hospital patient - 2 worlds collide

A great soldier, teacher and leader -- and a wonderful life. Had the good fortune to serve in the USMA Math Dept in mid-1980s and benefit from his mentoring. Remember his use of Plutarch's principle on many occasions. Winkie and I are thinking of Carolyn and the rest of the Cameron family.

I did not know BG Cameron but acknowledge his passing with respect as a member of the Army Tribe- the band of brothers and sisters that served our nation with pride. Although I had an affiliation with USMA many years ago, I did not, unfortunately, cross paths with the General. My deepest sympathy to his family, friends, colleagues and students.

I was a visiting professor to the Academy from Georgia Tech in '81-82. David and Carolyn Cameron made it possible for my wife and me to be a part of the community while there. It is with great memories that I have of them both. My sympathies to the family. Jim and Martha Herod
