A cum laude graduate of Kenyon College, Cam then served in the United States Army during the Korean War, and later worked in the family business. A very intelligent yet humble and soft spoken man, Cam was a very accomplished chess player, a voracious reader, and mastered multiple languages in his lifetime. He was a kind and gentle soul with a wry sense of humor and a generous benefactor to many local and area charities throughout his life. Cam was certainly well liked and loved by friends and family. His family wishes to recognize and sincerely thank Marcia and Mike Holland for their loving care and assistance given to Cam in his final years. Surviving are first cousin Martha Campbell Shotts (Emmett) and numerous second cousins. He was predeceased by his parents.
