Cameron served in France, his daughter said, then he headed to Germany after the war to help investigate war crimes. He remained in the Army Reserves for years after, retiring as a lieutenant colonel.
"He's amazing," said Michael Finer, his neighbor for about 40 years. "They're a different generation. He is an unbelievable gentleman."
