Not sure what to say?

Dear Chief Hamlin's Family,
As you all know many people thought very highly of Chief and he will be remembered in the Fire service for many years to come. Mike learned alot from him. Chief was a big part of his beginning years on the Department. He was a great leader and mentor.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Miguel and Jill Vergara

Mrs. Hamlin and Family

My sympathy at this time of loss. I remember visiting you and Mr. Hamlin when I would walk across the highway with my Grandparents to the greenhouse. Mr. Hamlin always had time to explain what was happening and how things grew.

Best wishes to you all.

The world has lost another piece of history, we will always have you in our hearts. Remembering the old times will get us through. Your smile, your sense of humor will be sorely missed. We love you dad and grandpa. I hope God has a nice fire station in heaven for you to command. Love Mike, Rock, Scott, Keri, Joe, and Julie.

Dear Betsy and David,
We are holding you close in our hearts and prayers at the loss of your father, Betsy. Love, mother and Paula (David's sister)

Dear Ginny and family,
I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. May God's blessings help you and your children through this difficult time as you say good-bye to your husband and their father. Our sincere sympathy.
Vera Greaves and Paula Shippy
