My deepest condolences to the family of our dear brother Hamilton.(brother Hami ) as he is affectionately called. RoRo and I will miss our mini visits to see him. My daughter fell in love with him when she first met him at the age of 8. She said that he reminded her of her dad. RoRo and I will miss him dearly. Praying for the family that God will grant the peace and comfort that is needed during this time of grief.

My sincerest condolences to the family. Brother Hamilton was a wonderful man. He gave my teenage son his first 35mm camera as he had bought a new camera and saw that Matt had an interest in photography so he gave him the one that was tried and proven. He was a gentle giant and I will never forget his thoughtfulness and kindness . May his family find comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering. May his soul rest in peace until that triumphant day!

Please accept our condolences from the Andrew Anderson family. Bro. Ham was such a kind, pleasant gentleman loved by all, young and old. When he started slowing down because of his MS, he would have our middle daughter Candyss, sit beside him and instruct her on how to take the pictures with his camera. He was always so gentle and kind. He will be sadly missed and always cherished by our family: Andrew, Charmain, Kendra, Candyss and Karita.
