I didn't know the man, but would be honored to contribute to a veteran's funeral expenses...and help the man to his final burial place.

Please keep us posted if help is needed.

For those that don’t know:

There is an old movie- something of a classic- with Charles Bronson playing a guy in Canada who has to head for the hills one step ahead of the Law, represented by Sam Elliot, if memory serves me correctly. In one memorable scene, Bronson’s character is brought to bay in a log cabin, and the Law decides to dynamite the cabin.

It gets blown to Kingdom Come...... by our very own Greg Cameron.

The Director got a little more devastation than the script called for according to Greg.

If anyone knows that movie title, please post it here.

Greg would get a kick out of that.

I watched that movie within the last year. Don't remember the name. Blew the hell out of that cabin.

The Movie was Death Hunt was about the Mad Trapper of Rat River! he carried a break down savage 99 rifle! chambered in 30-30

One of my favorite books. I'll have to look for that movie.

Kent, thank you for engaging this locally. Don't know what else to say at the moment. This path has not been my happiest adventure by a long shot and I'm very poorly located to get directly involved. Not much slows me down, but a couple of time zones and not knowing the local turf is an obstacle.

For what it may be worth, after I called the CCSO and made the request for a wellness check I received a call from the responding deputy. He asked questions about Greg, his routines, vehicle description etc. He was in a bit of a quandary about entering the property as the gate was locked and there is a no trespassing sign. It was about then that Nip came out to great him and apparently the pup was a bit overjoyed. She whined and made stressed dog sounds is the best way I can describe it. Greg's truck was visible and the deputy sounded some sort of loud buzzing horn several times w/o response. I told him to do what he thought best and let him make the call.

He went over the gate with his mic still hot. A few grunts and such, then Nip was all over him, apparently trying to jump up into his arms. He soothed her a bit and eventually I heard him pounding on the door. No response. I asked him if there was any dog food or water outside and he responded that the food bowl was empty and there was a very small amount of water left. He then told me he would call me back, that he was going to search the premises and look thru the windows where he could.

It was about 30-45 minutes later than he called back and told me that Greg had passed. I heard other officers on scene in the background and it was clear from his voice tone that he was a bit stressed, and I did not understand him the first time he told me Greg had passed. He repeated that and told me that Gracie was gone as well, then offered condolences for my loss.

He was an example of one of our finest doing a hard thing well. A salute to him and a farewell to two of my favorites.

With any luck I won't have to do this again. It cut to the core.

Maybe somebody known and trusted can put up a GoFundMe page...God Cross would hate that.
