In Memory of John Robert Hamitlon Jr. " Uncle Bob"

About a week and a half ago I was honored to

go and celebrate the life of my Uncle Bob.

Though this was a sad time because of his

passing, it was also a time of remembrance.

Bob was born on April 24, 1925 to the late

John Robert Hamilton Sr. and Mallie Farler.

He was 85 years, 11 months and 2 days old.

Bob served in the US Army, in World War II.

His Occupations were: Barber, farmer, and wood

craftsman, he also was employed and retired

from Trailways. He loved playing the guitar, singing,

and woodwork.

He was a great man in many peoples eyes, especially

mine. He was like a second Father to me, as we got

to see him quiet often since they lived in the

next town over while we were young. He always

had a story to tell, song to sing, and Ice Cream

to eat.

I will miss him, but know that he is in a better place,

and at rest.

Below are pictures of some of his funeral.

The Disabled Veterans Auxiliary came to honor

him also.

This is my Uncle Carl, He is 103 years young,

We love him so much, he is the oldest of our

Hamilton relatives that I know of, hopefully

we'll have him around for years to come.

His mind is as sharp as ever.

Best Family ever!!
