It is with great sadness that the family of Robert “Bob” James Hamilton announces his passing on Sunday, June 21, 2020 at the age of 83 years.

Bob was born, raised and lived in Lethbridge most of his life. After his service in the Canadian Army, he worked in the building supply business. His last employment was at Taber Home and Farm Center where he worked for 20 years. Bob was dedicated to his community. As an avid sports fan he volunteered to coach hockey, baseball, softball and was a long time member of the Hockey Hounds Organization.

Bob is survived by his son Kevin (Shawn) Hamilton; daughter Tracy (Hermann) Nell; grandchildren Dexter (Erin), Dalyce, Talita (Matthew), Esmé (Scott), Thandi; great-grandchildren Drew and Randi; brothers and sisters Don (Faye), Pat (Carol), Nan (Dave), Greg, Brent, Lori (Kelly) and Jerry (Liz); brother-in-law Gary (Gladys) Blackwell; sister-in-law Carol Blackwell and many nieces and nephews. He will be fondly remembered for his sense of humour, eagerness to help all who needed it, his kind and gentle spirit and his dedication to his family.

Besides his loving wife Deanna, Bob was predeceased by his brother Bill Hamilton.

We would like to thank the staff at Park Meadows Village, cottage 3 for the excellent care they provided for Bob.

Memorial donations in Bob’s memory may be made the Alzheimer’s Society of Alberta #40, 1202 – 2nd Avenue South, Lethbridge, Alberta, T1J 0E3.

A Private Family Service will be held at a later date.
