STANTON T. HAMLET

I was thinking about my late uncle recently and found myself on this site. Every May 16, his birthday, I think I should have a Wild Turkey Manhattan and toast him, but I must be a wimp because I tried one, and wow...! Stan would have laughed. What I remember is a dear, dear man, who when I told him my then newish husband and I were moving to Vermont, told me that wasn't possible because he and Cindy had closed the door after them when they moved 'back to the land' so many years before. He let...

Sandy: Thank you for bringing Dakota to Harvey Road. Your dad was a canine miracle worker--just one trait for which all of the neighbors were eternally grateful. I miss them both.

Cindy: We're in my VW Squareback at the bottom of a rutted snowbacked icy Vermont hill, trying to get that flimsy car & our luggage up to Lee's family cabin where we all spent a winter weekend with our little kids. Stan & Bill are in the back seat yelling at me, banging on the car, "C'mon Tump! Go!Go! Faster!
I'm such a wimp I never would have made it without those two, especially Stan's great faith that I couldn't give up! I hope it's not too trivial a memory, because it's a great one...

Penny and the rest of the Hamlet family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. Although it's inevitable, we never are ready for the loss of a parent. I hope you can find comfort in the many memories he left you with.

Stan was a truly great guy. His calm, patient demeanor has been an inspiration for me as I have moved through life. He was a great listener, and truly thoughtful and measured in his response. I will always remember his guidance while introducing me to the regional planning commission. His motives were always for the greater good of everyone. We have lost a loyal friend to the whole community, and a true family man.
Best Wishes,

Of the many memories that I have of Stan and the Hamlet family, I have one that will forever be with me and make me laugh. I couldn't have been more then 5 or 6 years old, and my family was at the Hamlet house visiting. My little toddler brother Jaren and I went to the barn to explore, and got cornered by the goat in a stall. My brother ran, and I screamed in fear, until Stan came and pulled the elderly goat away from me. He will forever be my hero for that. Stan was a wonderfull man,...

Dear Cindy
I don't remember if I ever met you at CU but I've heard your name mentioned each time I was either playing softball with Stan or if I'd run into him in the architectural department of the engineering building or if he'd drop in to visit my roommates Bill Strang and Dick Tumpus. What I do remember though is how enthusiastic Stan was about everything, especially baseball and the Redsox.
After 48 years I finally caught up with Bill and Dick in Tucson, Az via Facebook

Stan and I were roommates in college, where we met our wives and shared many wonderful occasions together, from early dates, to raising our first children together in Lexington, MA. We were, are ardent Red Sox fans. Stan was a dear, dear friend, he will be sadly and greatly missed. Our prayers for love and comfort go out to Cindy and to Russell, Penny, Sandy and their families,

"Later!"
