Obituary for Irvin L. Hamilton

"Dear Shirley and family - Memories are many, but words are few to express our profound sadness in learning of Irwin's unexpected passing. It is hard to imagine that a friendship that began as nursery mates in church through our college years in Abilene led to such a relationship that has impacted my entire life. That was the kind of man that Irvin was. He truly made a difference in all those he came in contact with. Know that we are praying that God's grace will give you comfort in your loss."

"Shirley, I was shocked to see that Irvin had passed away. You and your family are in my thoughts, in fact I have thought of both you and Irvin often. We should have gotten together somehow. A couple of weeks ago Nancy (I don't remember her maiden name) Jones asked if I remembered meeting her during a campout at the Colorado River. I did not remember at the time, but on reflection I think we and your family had a good time at the Colorado River State Park. I am sure that it was some type of family outing, just don't remember. Also, at Johnny Russell's XO reunion a couple of years ago some of us brought up Irvin and Shirley. That was always what I thought of: Irvin and Shirley. Time seems to fly doesn't it. I am so sorry for our loss and wish you well in the future. Irvin and Shirley always brought a good feeling to me. Larry D. Robertson, 2143 South 10th Street, Abilene, TX 79605"

"Paige, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. Please know that I am thinking about you and praying that God will provide comfort for you and your family as you work through this very difficult time."

"Dear Shirley and family, We are so shocked to hear the news. Such a good person. I was thinking of you a week or so ago and wondering if you were still in Austin. You will be in our prayers. Blessings, Brenda and Jerry Siewert"

"Dear Shirley, I am so sorry about the loss of Irvin. I certainly have fun memories of being neighbors at the Shadow Oaks Townhomes back in the day. He was the dearest man, and always had a smile on his face. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Robert, Paige, and Ross."

"My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Always Charmange and Family"
