Mr. Hamilton was a wonderful and caring man and a friend to so many. He was a really important and positive influence on my life. I am so grateful for his love of photography and his devotion to his students'. George mentored so many of us nerdy and awkward teenage kids and provided guidance that many of us truly needed. Thank you George for everything. May you rest in peace and rise in glory.

RIP my dear friend. I will always remember our long horse rides at the camp house along with the potluck meals every Monday night with our parents and many friends.

George was simply wonderful. He was my favorite teacher, and luckily I was fortunate to spend a lot of time with him in high school and beyond.
