Not sure what to say?

Dick and Joyce were very dear friends of my mother, Nancy (nee Filion) Olson. Dick was so very thoughtful to attend our mother's burial in Brattleboro in May of 2012. In 2010 Mom, my sisters (Janet & Jennifer) and I were graciously hosted by Dick and I believe 2 of his daughters for a day at the farm. It was Mom's last visit to VT and it meant so very much to all of us. I am so happy for all the years you had with Dick - a truly remarkable man with a beautiful wife and family. May the Lord...

Sending our condolences to the Hamilton family. My family worked at Skyline and Hogback for years. Richard and his family always took care of all of us as if we were his own. We have many fond memories that I will cherish! I am thankful we were able to sit down every year and chat on our visits back to the farm. I am going to miss seeing him out mowing or eating berries in his golf cart. He was loved and will be very missed. Lovingly, Brian Powers and Family

Wonderful and sweet Christian man. So glad I had the opportunity to have him in my life through knowing his wife and daughter & son in law Steve and Barbara and other family members.

Love's Journey

Mr Hamilton always was, has and will have been my greatest friend for life; ever since from day one when my Grandfather Bill introduced him to me back in June of 2009, I shall forever miss him immensely. His whole life experiences back in his earlier days along with his service in World War II with the US 8th AAF and ordeal as a former P.O.W. at Stalag Luft IV and after WWII are far-by the outstanding story anybody has ever had for me to hear. It sure was always such a wonderful time visiting...

As a student at Marlboro college, I have fond memories of many wonderful meals at the Skyline. After I graduated and moved to NYC, my husband and I spent summers in Marlboro with his family and I had the privilege of working at the Skyline and getting to know Dick and Joyce. Once you knew them, you loved them for life. My memories are so sweet and joyful. Thank you to the Hamiltons for their love and kindness. Lives so well and heroically lived. Their memories are a blessing!

Our condolences to Dick´s family. What a blessing to have had such an incredible man in your lives. He was such a kind person and always had a smile. We have many memories from "skyline" either dining or working there as well as at Hogback. Prayers for all of you and may Dick rest in peace. Michelle, John and Karli Knapp
