The Seattle Times
April 2, 1992Daniel F. Cameron went a long way during his life.
Mr. Cameron, a resident of Edmonds, retired as a vice president of Conoco Oil Co., which was one of the nation's largest when it was absorbed by DuPont in 1981.
But it wasn't only building and managing refineries that absorbed Mr. Cameron's interests. He also was an avid sailor, which was on of the reasons he loved the Puget Sound area. He also skied, and was an excellent golfer.
"He was always doing, always moving. He was a vital man," said his wife, Kathy Cameron.
Mr. Cameron, 65, collapsed and died of a heart attack Saturday while on his sailboat, the Minx, a 37-footer he often raced. He collapsed during a race from Shilshole to Point Pully off Seahurst Park in South King County.
Born and reared in New York City, Mr. Cameron graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., and received a master's degree in business from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
During his years with Conoco, Mr. Cameron served in several overseas assignments. He was the project engineer at the firm's oil refinery in Tokyo from 1967 to 1969. He designed a new process for refining petroleum coke, and the plant was designed around the process, said Robin Cameron of Seattle, one of Mr. Cameron's sons.
He was the manager and oversaw the construction of the refinery, his son said.
He also served for several years as the manager of the Humber River Refinery on the east coast of England. During this time Mr.
Cameron kept some pretty lofty company, managing to play golf with Denis Thatcher, husband of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Robin Cameron said.
Mr. Cameron and his first wife, Nancy, were foster parents to as many as 10 children and helped pay educational costs for several foreign students who were attending school in the U.S., said his sister, Elise Dotson of Chicago. Nancy died in 1988.
When he retired in 1985, Mr. Cameron moved here to be near his two daughters, Rebecca Lee of Edmonds and Kerry Sussex of Mercer Island, and his sons, Robin and Todd Cameron of Edmonds.
Mr. Cameron also is survived by three stepchildren and six grandchildren.
