Bonnie,
We at the clinic were all extremely sad to hear of Cam’s passing. We got to know him pretty well over the years and he always kept us all laughing and smiling whenever he was in. I always enjoyed talking music with him and he was always kind enough to share with me cds of music I hadn’t heard and I appreciated that very much. Our sincerest condolences to you and the rest of his family.
Sincerely Todd, LeeAnn, Jody and everyone else at our clinic.

This one hurts…shocked and saddened by hearing of Cam’s passing. Cam’s easygoing demeanour, ability to keep a smile on his face and desire to be kind and helpful in his community at any time will very much be missed.
He could help to put a positive spin on the tough days and amplify the good ones.
Sad to not be able to have one more visit with pets and the pool but will carry the good memories and laughs had. Warmest regards for a good man who will be missed.
Sharla MacPherson
