Stephen L. Hamilton

To Mim,Adam,Jill & Ash

How can it be a year already? We still can't believe he is gone.If I close my eyes I can see Steve in the driveway ( bathing suit,tank top,no shoes) washing the car. It seems like yesterday. They say time heals but I know that we miss Steve every bit as much today so I can't imagine the pain that you bear. I hope you find solace in all the wonderful memories you have of him. We will always treasure the times we spent with him and still talk about him often. The neighborhood is definatley not the same without him. And I am convinced every time the Red Sox lose that he has something to do with it!



As always you are all in our thoughts and prayers.



Love, Bev,Doug,Cade & Lauren

Stephen and I were friends 35 years ago; he's the type of person once you get to know him he stays with you forever. My heart will forever be heavy with him gone so young, but I'm blessed for having known him. Mimi and kids, you're still in my thoughts and prayers, I hope you're well.

Wow, a month has gone by. I still can't believe your gone. I'm glad you got the coaching job with the Yankee's so fast now they are tied for first place. With you over the field I'm sure they will go all the way.

Mimi, and Family, I'm sure you guys are really missing Steve more than words could explain. You will always be in my prayers. Please keep in touch. I do not have a email address for you.

Steve, today is your first month anniversary, and guess what..... we still missing you even more that we did a month ago... You will be always in our hearts...

My condolences to the family.

I have worked with Steve on and off for the past twenty six years. Steve was one of a kind, always there to give a helping hand with a great big smile. He will be missed by us all. My condolences to his family.

My Deepest condolences to the family.

I worked with Steve for 18 years and I will surely miss him.

Specially his humor, availability to always help with a smile

"My time is your time Chantal" special greeting in the morning "Thanks for coming in Mrs. Pean" ... more & more...

Our walk during lunch time will never be the same without Steve.

Deepest condolences and prayers are with the family.

I worked with Steve for many years at Met Life Policy Change Services The office here will never be the same without him it was a prviledge and a pleasure to work with him. My sympathies to his family

Mimi, Adam, Jill & Ashley, You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Steve was a wonderful friend as well as a co-worker. This place is not the same without him and never will be. I often find myself thinking of something funny he said or did that brings a smile to my face. Steve would get several of us in the office to go out for a walk during lunch. Often I would say that I was too busy and he would say that the work will always be there. I really appreciated that Steve not only encouraged me to take a break from work but also got some exercise. Steve would gather up the group which was Milton, Ramon, Chantal, Johanna and myself to go walking. He was like the pied piper of the office. Steve was a wonderful friend coming all the way to Dedham to pick me up and take me back and forth to work when I was not able to drive. He always came with a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee waiting for me in the morning. When we would go out for our walks during lunch, Milton would make a stop for his peanuts, Steve would stop to get a slice of pizza and I always stopped by Dunkin Donuts for my coffee. There were times that I did not go out for the walk but Steve would bring me back a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee. During our walks Steve would look for this homeless women he would meet on Newbury St and stop to chat and give her some money or a pack of cigarettes. He always did something nice for someone. I can't thank him enough for all the help and training he has provided to all of us at work. He traveled to St. Louis and Tampa to learn the work, document the process and come back here to train us. Steve made so many friends in St. Louis as well as Tampa and it shows how well he was loved by all. I will miss my good friend and am so glad that I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Steve for many years. When I came back to Policy Change in 2000, Steve put up his arms and said yeah your coming home. He made me feel good to be coming back to Policy Change after being in another area for six years working with him again. Steve, I am sorry to see you go but am glad that you are no longer suffering. Until we meet again. "Annie Get Your Gun" I miss you calling me this but several people have caught on and I am still getting called this. Steve you have made so many friends everywhere you go. You will not be forgotten.

SO SORRY TO HEAR OF MY FRIEND WHOM I KNEW FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. BUT IT SEEMED AS IF WE KNEW EACH OTHER FOR YEARS. (I WAS HIS NURSE).. WHAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER IS HIS GREAT BIG SMILE. I WILL MISS HIM!



NURSE YVETTE

Very sorry to hear the news of Steve's passing. He was a great person, easy to work with and great sense of humor. Knew him for many years working at New England Financial. Our sympathy to Steve's Family and friends.

Bob & Ronnalee Mulkern

I'm Steve's first cousin, just a couple of months younger. My mother and his mother were sisters. Steve always lived in the same town, and I always lived from place to place. But when we got together we had the best times teasing the younger kids. We made acorn mush at Uncle Jack's and got the others to eat it. We got them to drink black shoe polish at Auntie Anna's. Steve's mom (my late and very beloved Auntie Debby) used to get so mad at us! We'd blame each other, nobody would suffer the consequences, and we always congratulated each other on our accomplishments!



Seriously though, Steve was truly a gem in this world, a kind hearted and fun guy with a smile and a good word for everyone he met.



To those of my family: email me ... I miss you guys.



Only the good die young. RIP Stevie, I'll see you in the next life!

I WANT TO TELL MY FORMER STUDENT, ALAN HAMILTON, HOW SAD I WAS TO READ OF HIS BROTHER'S DEATH..AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE..I WAS SURPRISED/PLEASED TO SEE THAT TWO FENNELLS HAD ALSO ADDED TO THIS PAGE..I CANNOT RESIST SAYING HELLO TO TWO KIMBALL AVENUE NEIGHBORS..EVELYN

I was Steve's secretary several years ago & was so saddened to hear of his passing. He was such a wonderful co-worker and friend; I will always remember his humor & warmth, and the down to earth way he had about him that made everyone around him feel at ease. Even though I had not seen him in a while, I feel the loss of Steve as someone I considered a good friend. It was truly an honor to have known him and I will always remember & miss him. Deepest condolences to his family; thoughts & prayers are with you.

I know that this is a very difficult time for your family and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I have worked with Steve off and on over the last 20 years and have throughly enjoyed my contact with him. His upbeat personality and great sense of humor made our jobs more pleasurable. He has touched a lot of lives at NEF/MET and will be deeply missed. I hope that these thoughts and other like these can lessen your pain. With Love, Christa

Mimi,



My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am truely greatful for the short time I got to work with Steve. He had a wonderful sense of humor, enjoyable to be around and always knew how to make people laugh. Even though I want to cry at the lost of such a great person, I always seem to end up laughing when thinking of the memories of Steve and things he would say or do. He has left an ever lasting impression in my life (many lives) and will never be forgotten. As a friend he was a gift and will deeply be missed. Always remember the spirit of Steve lives in the hearts that loved him.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Steve while working just a few cubes down from his, truly a gentleman, a friend, you will be missed. I will never forget your WISE words.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Hamilton family. I took care of Mr. Hamilton during his recent hospitalization. Although, in my heart I know he is no longer in pain and in a peaceful place his passing greatly saddened me. I only knew him for a few days but he is one of those special patients that really touches your heart.

Losing Steve effected so many hearts. I hope and pray that everyone will someday heal from this tremendous sadness. My thoughts are with you all.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Hamilton family. I had worked with Steve for the last four years and he was a delight. He was such a positive person and will be missed a lot.

I met Steve when he came to the Tampa office. He was such a joy and easy person to know. He was so animated when speaking of his family. A truly nice person that I am happy to say I met.

To the Hamilton family my sincere sympathy in the loss of such a Gentle(man)

Mimi, I am so sorry to hear about Steve who i knew through my brother Joe. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. The Hasseys

So many people have expressed such loving thoughts and memories of Steve in so many ways, all saying,"Gone but not forgotten." How true! Every time you eat Chinese food, hear Frankie Valli, The Four Seasons, or the Beatles, read or hear about the Yankees or the Patriots, get together with family, friends, or neighbors, or smirk just because - you'll think of Steve. To paraphrase the Wizard to the Cowardly Lion, "It's not how much you love, it's how much you are loved." Steve was very, very loved.

Hi Sunshine was how he greeted me. Working with Steve for the past five yrs was a joy and I will surlely miss him. My condolences to the family especially his children. Stay strong and know that he was truly loved.

I knew Steve passing through the hallways of New England day after day, year after year. He always had a smile and a funny comment about our jobs. He will be missed.

Steve got me through some tough times when I was in Policy Change about a million years ago. All he had to do was give me that "cat that ate the canary" smirk and I would laugh and de-stress. I am glad I got to see him at Clery's.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mimi and the kids. Steve was a great person, always able to make you smile. Despite the fact that I haven't seen him or the family in quite some time, I hope for the best for Mimi, Adam, Jill, and Ashley. Steve will always be there looking out for you.

mimalynn,my heart truley aches for you,adam, jill,and ashley...the bond and family foundation that you and steve built out of the love you had for each other is what will definitely get you all through this...so hang in there..and know that you are loved and missed very much....so close your eyes for a second and feel my hug, your friend always,marcy p.s. i close my eyes and i see steve at the station walking toward us when we came back from seeing rosie..in his trenchcoat and greets you with a kiss..i thought ..boy is he handsome ..how lucky mim is...you had the best!!!!

In the 8 years I knew Steve, I don't think I passed by him without a joke or a punch in the arm or something to laugh at or about. When I worked with Steve, he made it a pleasure with his casual style and vast expertise. He'll be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with Steve's family. I met Steve when he visited our office in Tampa and enjoyed every minute. He always had a smile and a joke ready for every occasion.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve when he visited the Change Unit. Every morning Steve would come in with a smile on his face and a joke to make our day less stressful. He will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family

I have only had the opportunity to know and work with Steve in the last 2 years. But in this short amount of time, I feel like I've known him alot longer. I will dearly miss his personalty and sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with is family during this time.

My sincere condolences to Steve's family. I know Steve now has his own "special" smile permanently on his face. Rest in peace, Steve.

I had the pleasure of being one of Steves class mates and team mates while at Revere High School. It was always fun to catch up at the class reunions and the track reunions. He always had a smile on his face and a story to tell. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time

Mimi,

I am thinking of you and praying that you stay strong during this difficult time. Steve was such a great guy and I am going to miss sassin' him. He lived his life to the fullest and he loved being with his family and friends. I know Steve's spirit will live on inside you, Adam, and the girls.

Love always,

Em

Adam, Jill, and Ash,



Your dad was so much fun to be with and he certainly knew how to liven up a party! He was such a hard worker and was always willing to help someone out. (Erik never would have found those awesome Bridgewater junkyards without Uncle Steve.) Lean on each other during the coming days and have faith in God. (I have a strong feeling that right now, our dads are sitting under some chiki hut in Heaven enjoying a "refreshment" together.) I love you guys and I will be praying for you.



Love,



Em

Daddy! We know you are truly in a special place now and no longer in pain. You are the angel watching over us and shining your light upon us. We miss you greatly and think about you everyday. We love you! Love: Daddy's Little Girls <3

Mimi, Adam, Jill, Ashley,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Steve was a great guy, but you knew that. He will be missed. I will always remember the only Yankee fan in Boston. I’m sure he is watching over the Yankees now. They won 3 in a row since he joined the team.

God Bless you all in your time of sorrow.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve 5+ years ago and recently had the opportunity to start working with him again. He was a one-of-a-kind guy who always had a smile on his face and a zest for life that is remarkable. The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry will never be the same! Peace to his family & friends. Until we meet again!

I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the Hamilton family. While I haven't seen Steve very often in the last 30 years, I will never forget his warm smile and the positive impact he had on my life

Our family's condolences to Mike and the Hamilton family. As Mike knows, our father is suffering from the same disease. Our family held a car wash today and raised over $600 for the cause and it all will be donated for research.

Stephen was one wonderful guy. Your smile will always be with me.

Steve was a great person and he will be missed by many people. I wanted to thank him for all the happiness that he brought to our lives. He will always be in our hearts and memories.

My thoughts and preyers are with his family. May God bless you all and give you strength and peace in this difficult time.

Steve was truly a wonderful person and was loved by so many people at work. Although I haven't known him for a long time, I am so glad to have met him. He truly had a gift for making people laugh and putting a smile on your face. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

Stephen was a wonderful person! I am blessed to have known him. My sincere sympathy to his family.

In life, you find so very very few people who impact you soley by their personality, sense of humor and sense of fair play. I will miss Steve for so many reasons but I will miss him MOST as a person who made life all that more enjoyable to experience. God Bless Steve,, he will be missed by many, many people...a testament to the life he led. My prayers are with his family

We love you so much Steve, thank you for teach us to survive at Work. We will miss you for EVER...

Have a good time up there... Take care of your family and us.

I sat next to Steve everyday for 5+ years and had the opportunity to share in his stories, work experiences and his laughter. He was a gift and I will deeply miss him. My sincere condolences!
