My sincerest sympathies to the Hamilton Family. Mr. Jamie was a friend of mine for many years and I always respected him and liked him. I am working in Louisiana or I would have attended the visitation and/or service. The World War II generation was truly the “greatest generation” and now they are almost all gone. May God
Bless you all.
