Readfield - John Cameron of Readfield passed away unexpectedly on June 18, 2013 at his home. John was born in Providence, Rhode Island on June 8, 1925. He was the only son of Scottish immigrants, John Cameron Sr., and Isabella Gibbs Cameron, who settled in Quincy, Massachusetts where John Jr. spent most of his childhood. The family moved to the Augusta, Maine area where John completed his senior year of high school at Cony High School in 1943. Like many young men of the time, John enlisted in the Army Air Corps upon graduation to serve his country during World War II. After the war, he continued to serve his country in the Air National Guard for over 25 years, retiring with the rank of Lt Colonel. He completed training as a chiropractor at the Lincoln School of Chiropractic in Indianapolis, Indiana and returned to Augusta to practice chiropractic. John completed his professional career as an employee of the State of Maine Department of Health Engineering where he was a radiologic monitoring specialist, and retired in 1985. John was a gifted athlete. He excelled at football at Cony High School, and later successfully played racketball and tennis in competition. But his true love was the game of golf. John was an active member of the Augusta Country Club for many years and was very proud to achieve a single-digit handicap in his golfing career. John is survived by his wife of 34 years, Linda, the love of his life, and his beloved dog Amos. He is also survived by four children; Jack Cameron and his wife Christine of Manchester; Ann Cameron-Gannett of Manchester; Mark Cameron and his wife Linda of Augusta; and Bruce Cameron of Manchester. John was the proud grandfather of five grandchildren; Derek Gannett and his wife Holly of Manchester; Jeremy Cameron and his wife Andrea of Augusta; Jennifer Cameron-Clarkson and her husband Kaleem of Atlanta, Georgia; Holly Cameron-Daigle and her husband Nick of Chelsea; and Craig Cameron of Manchester. John was also a proud great grandfather to four great grandchildren; Isabelle and Tommy Gannett, Chloe Cameron and Addison Daigle. The family wishes to thank Dr. Lisa Clarcq for her never ending support and compassion, and the staff at the Alfond Center for Cancer Care.
