Robert, was born in Toronto - raised primarily in Grand Bay/Westfield, New Brunswick & Edmonton, Alberta. Robert was known as Bobby by those closest to him. Robert was a sport lover and huge fan of the Edmonton Oilers, collecting and trading sport memorabilia and enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the subject with others. Robert loved music, and the outdoors. He was a philosopher and spent much time considering the meaning of life. Robert had a health scare in 2009 where he spent time on life support at the University of Alberta and against odds pushed through showing resiliency and strength of the Hamilton Clan.

Robert’s favourite Author was Henry Drummond. Robert would have loved to have reminded those he left behind of this quote from the book The Greatest Thing in the World. “You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.”

We are comforted in knowing Robert’s Spirit is with the angels.
