Life is extremely short. I passed Mike on the 4th fairway and no more than 30 minutes later, he was no longer with us. I am deeply saddened. May he rest in peace.

Mr. Hamill,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army and Army National Guard during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
