HAMLIN - Robert W. Hamlin, born May 22, 1937 in Midland, Texas. After a courageous battle, he went to meet his Lord on Sunday, March 3, 1996. He leaves to mourn, his wife and friend Gwen; son Maurice and his wife Sheila; his two precious grandsons, Jesse and Michael; Zada Hamlin (mother) in Amarillo, Texas; his brothers and sisters, Joy, Clinton, Edie-Mae, Douglas and his wife Margie, and their families; uncles, aunts and cousins in the U.S.A.; his parents-in-law, Charlie and Edith Beliveau; and brother-in-law Wes Beliveau. He was predeceased by his father O.C. Hamlin. Robert came to Canada in 1953 with a reproduction and printing company, continuing in this line of work for over forty years. His greatest joy in life was camping with his family and friends, dancing, hockey games with family, and being a Round dance instructor and Square dance caller. Quiet spoken but always ready to give a helping hand, and as problems arose would just quietly "take care of it". He will be sadly missed by all his relatives and dear friends that he has made over the years.
