I am very saddened to Read of Mr. Cameron's passing. Through out all of Barberton, I bet there are not many that dont remember the smile and friendship that Mr. Cameron so selfishly gave to so many.. As kids growing up in the Neighborhood, it was amazing that Mr. Cameron would know your name, let alone say hi and smile.. Maybe he was keeping tabs to make sure we didnt end up down at the station..lol So sad to hear Harvey passed.. There is a hole in many of our hearts knowing we wont see that smile again.. Rest In Peace Mr. Cameron
