"To lose my childhood friend that would always invite me out to play is like losing a member of my own family, I send my deepest condolences to my neighbors, the Bawoleks as I know this to be a very hard time in all of their lives. He would always ring my doorbell multiple times to ask me to come and play, we would argue over what is the best flavor of pop tarts was. We would always have these trivial arguments but always come out the other side as friends He was in sense my first friend and even though we drifted apart later in life, I always cherish those memories we had together. Thank you for being my friend Cameron."

"Cam was a wonderful person and friend to me throughout middle and high school. We played percussion together all the way from middle school band to the wind ensemble and drumline in high school. He was a talented musician with a lighthearted presence, always a pleasure to have around. Ever since we met, I greatly respected him for having such a genuine and strong character, never afraid to go his own way. Since high school, we’ve had some nice times frolfing and listening to music together when we were both home from college. I have many great memories with Cam that I’ll forever cherish, and I’m deeply sorry for your loss."
