Hamilton Bob

Passed away peacefully at Riverside Glen on Tuesday May 31, 2016 at the age of 88. Predeceased by his wife Hazel (Beswetherick) in 2000. Much loved father of Lois & Randy Bamsey, Dale Hamilton & Harold Rice, Tom Hamilton & Darlene Chadder, Mark & Apryle Hamilton and Jeff & Inga Hamilton. Loving Papa of Laura, Joel & Jason Bamsey, Kirin & Teeka Rice, Avah Hamilton, Jeremy & Michael Hamilton and Kye & Ria Hamilton. Bob grew up on the family farm, Fairview, on the 4th line just outside Rockwood and was the Road Superintendent of Eramosa Township for many years until his retirement. He was a farmer at heart and a John Deere man. A quiet man who enjoyed spending time with his family and who liked nothing better than a good game of euchre or a drive in the country to see how the crops were coming along. The family would like to thank the staff at Riverside Glen for their support and care for Bob over the last 6 years and particularly over the last 5 days. Friends will be received at the WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 206 Norfolk St., Guelph on Thursday, June 2, 2016 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Funeral service will be held in the funeral home chapel at 2:00 p.m. Reception to follow in the Wall-Custance Family Reception Centre. Memorial contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.

A tree will be planted in memory of Robert P. Hamilton in the Wall-Custance Memorial Forest, University of Guelph Arboretum. Dedication service, Sunday, September 18, 2016 at 2:30 pm.
