Dear Hamilton Family-
I was very sad to learn of the loss of your precious Bob. When someone you love dies, it leaves an empty spot in your hearts which could never be filled by any other persono. Soon, in a new world of god's making, all pain, suffering and sickness will be gone forever. Until then, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Bob was certainly a gentleman as many have described him already. I remember Bob from being in the Alamagordo Noon Lions Club with him. It seems like he was always there ready to serve whether it be putting out the flags or cleaning the girl scout hut. He was there to help. May you rest in peace Bob.

My prayers are with you. Bob Hamilton was the greatest man I know. When I was 10 yrs old my kite got caught in his tv antennae and he was so kind to me and I was scared to death to ring their doorbell. We laughed about it for many years. He was so great to my parents, Trent and Jewel Lindsey. He will truly be missed.

To the Hamilton family, I am so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing, he was a wonderful friend and fishing buddy to my father Walt Maygarden. He handle my mothers and grandfathers funerals and was just a wonderful and understanding and caring man with a heart made of gold. Here I was 10 years old in 1976, scared to even walk into the funeral home (then located on 10th St),on the night for visitation to see my Mom and Bob talked to me and helped me through it and I have been eternally grateful to him for his words and actions that night. He will be truly missed and I have always admired Bob, I don't think there are enough words to describe how wonderful he is. My thoughts and prayers are with you
