My heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with all of the family. Mr. Hamilton was a dear sweet man. I met him years ago through his sister and immediately felt what a kind and considerate man he was. I always looked forward to him visiting us at the office when he came to Beaumont. I know that he will be sorely missed in your lives as well as the world losing a great man. May God hold you all close while helping you get through the grieving process. Love to all.
