In 1945 he was invited to become a full partner in the firm of Hazelgrove & Lithwick (see list of works under A.J. Hazelgrove), and their office received several commissions for educational, commercial and industrial buildings over the next two years. Cameron died suddenly on 30 April 1947 at age 41 (obituary Ottawa Journal, 1 May 1947, 25; obit. R.A.I.C. Journal, xxiv, June 1947, 219; inf. from Ontario Assoc. of Architects).
