Marvin Hamilton III

Marvin was a terrific Public Defender, Judge and friend. he was a "Mench".

I miss Marvin and our talks. He was my friend. I hope his family is well. he made a difference in the lives of all who knew him. He was a "mensch."

I still think of Marvin all the time. I lost a very good friend when he passed. I have never met anyone else like him. God Bless his family. They are in my prayers.

I did not know about this until recently. I am so sad and so sorry. Marv was always a genuine friend, an admirable lawyer, and an excellent writer. His wit brightened many a day when I knew him at Notre Dame, and I looked forward to his Christmas letter every year, filled with humor and wisdom; anecdotes from work and updates on family life. My heart goes out to his dear family and friends. Please accept my sympathy for your loss.

Lynne, Henry and I were deeply saddened and totally shocked by the news of Marv's sudden departure from us all. It was a sincere pleasure, not to mention a lot of fun, being housemates with Marv oh so many years ago during our law school years and staying in contact with him and his family over time and throughout his many moves. His sense of compassion for others, good nature, wit and intellect will long be remembered. Our thoughts and deepest heartfelt condolences go out to Mili,...

The world has lost a wonderful, funny, caring person. I'm so glad for the memories of being new to Alaska and having Marvin share in those early Alaska experiences with my family. He was part of our family when our families were so far away. My heart goes out to his family.

I met Marvin while working in the hospital in Yap. We shared a house together. He was very kind to me and we became close friends. Marvin was passionate in his desire to help anyone he felt was vulnerable or in need. I am deeply saddened by his passing. Our family extends our love and support to Mili and his children.

Marv: yours was a gigantic, gracious, undeniably old, soul. We must give you back for your next chapter. Eternity's gain is our loss; our less wise, more ephemeral and for now, terrestrial, souls. It seems fitting that you should be called back so early: your spirit needs to somehow become older and wiser. Bless you, Mili, and I am so sorry for your loss. I bet your children are beautiful, bright and brilliant, just like a high octane, perfect blend of you and Marv. Marv is with you,...

Marv and I faced each other in Yap State Court almost daily for three years, when I was prosecuting and he was defending. He loved his work, and worked as hard as anyone could to defend the rights of his clients. Off the job (was Marvin ever off the job?) Marv was always friendly, positive, enjoying life. Mili, you and your family are in my thoughts. Godspeed.
