GARY HAMILTON passed away at his home in Lethbridge on Tuesday, October 17, 2017, at the age of 70 years.

Gary was predeceased by his father, Alvin Rex Hamilton and by his mother, Corinne Hamilton.

Gary was a beloved husband, father, and friend to many. He is survived by his wife, Anita Hamilton, two daughters, Dawn Ramsay of Lethbridge and by his estranged daughter Dawn LaPoint of Lethbridge; three grandchildren; two brothers, Rodney (Laurel) and their four children of Lethbridge and Kennith and his two children of Lethbridge; one sister, Virene (Dave) French and their three children of Stirling, AB. He will also be missed by his friends, George Boush, John Hawkes, Al Dag, and so much more from a long time past.

Gary and Anita were married on January 20th, 1988. He loved his fishing and camping. He always had a book in his hands as he loved to read. He was like an old farmer; a gift of gab when you met up with him. When he retired you could always find him in his shop tinkering around with his carpentry, listening to hard rock music and having a beverage. He always said, "Life is good, isn't it".

Gary was a production Foreman at Triple M Housing for more than 20 years. He was a compassionate, thoughtful and honorable man who loved his animal companions. He was well loved for his humor, respect and generous spirit. He truly was a character-and-a-half.

Gary will be honored at a private service.

I love you honey. Anita.

I was just browsing through the Cornerstone obituaries and saw that Gary had died - I'm so sorry Anita - he was very special, he loved you so very much, i remember when he stopped in and took home a crippled kitten for Dawn and they took care of it as it would surely have died within a few weeks. I will remember him fondly.

Hi Anita, there are no words that can describe how Andi and I feel, except for we did love his sense of humor, and he was my favorite at Triple M. We are thinking about you kiddo. With our deepest sympathy Andi Spillmann and Laura Workman.
