Mr. H as many of us called him, was one of the most honest and kind men I know. He opened his office door many times to us as employees, and always had words of encouragement when needed...no matter how bad a day you may be having, when you came by him, he would give you that smile...and things would lighten up...I am thankful and blessed to have been able to call him my friend...My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends...

I worked for Mr. Hamilton when I was with Paramount Acceptance. Although it has been over 23 years since I have spoken with him I have thought about him often and always hoped he was enjoying his retirement. He was always such a nice man to work for. He was very calm, patient and fair. I no longer live in Toledo but if I did I would stop in to celebrate his wonderful life and the positive impact he had on others. Rest in peace Mr. H, and thank you for your kindness, guidance and mentoring when I was with Paramount Acceptance.
