Paul Hamilton Obituary
Paul Gene Hamilton, 84, of Fort Smith hit a hole in one when he crossed into heaven on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2020. He was born Aug. 2, 1936, in Yukon, Okla., to Loy and Mabel Low Hamilton. He was the youngest of six children.
He retired from Trane in 2001, after 42 years of service.

He was a longtime member of Fianna Hills Country Club and anyone who knew Paul for any length of time definitely knew he was an avid golfer.

The family wishes to thank the nurses and doctors at Mercy COVID ICU Unit for their great care and love of Paul.
Funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Nov. 30, at Cavanaugh Free Will Baptist Church with burial at Woodlawn Memorial Park, under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home.

It was an honor to know and be a friend with Paul. Paul was a leader and served his Lord and Church in many ways. Paul will be missed in many ways. Prayers for Phyllis and family.

In the summer of 1965 just after getting our of the service, I went to Holiday Lanes to watch a bowling match. Two to the participants, Ron Rogers and Paul Hamilton were to become two of my dearest friends for many years thereafter. We bowled together, played golf together, ate lunch together and did just about anything else one might imagine three young men might do. I am saddened to learn about the passing of Paul and want to extend my deepest condolences to his family. He loved his kids and grandkids like and took great delight in watching them grow. My thoughts and prayers go out to Phyllis and his entire family.
