I called him "Daddy!" My best friend, Pam, and I grew up in the same neighborhood; we learned how to drive together; got cars from our parents together; and lived a blessed and wonderful life as an "only child!" "Dad" parented me as if I was one of his own. I have many wonderful memories that I will treasure always!!

Surely a man on honor and dedication to duty. I completed my teacher training under his leadership. He also inspired me to serve as well. Well done my friend.

What a wonderful life Colonel Wells lived. I only experienced a brief slice of his dedicated time here on Earth and I can attest his time was well spent. He left us better than he found us.

I served as chief appraiser of the Harris County Appraisal District during Cameron's service on the district's board of directors where he represented HISD. We shared much in common because of his long military service in the Army Reserve from his he retired as a colonel and mine as a former citizen soldier and retired commanding general of the Texas State Guard. I have only the highest level of respect for both his public and military service, his quiet and always professional demeanor, and his unquestionable integrity. Cameron Wells was a prince of a gentleman and I was an honor to have known and worked with him.

Thank you, Captain Wells. My wife Franchelle and I are among the thousands of young people whose lives you enriched. As a cadet in the junior ROTC program at Jack Yates High School (Yates '63), I saw you almost every school day for three years. Fran (Yates '67) was a "sponsor," the title given in those days to young women who volunteered to provide administrative support to the program. What I remember and appreciate, some 60 years later, is that you were a model of discipline, purpose, and moral character. I believe those traits rubbed off on me and on thousands of other Yates students. We're all better for having known you.

COL Cameron Wells, an Officer and a Gentleman.
He held all around him to a standard that made them a better citizen of the United States of America. I served with many, but none better.
