Robert Hamilton's Obituary
A self-reliant and independant man who was the life of the party, Robert "Bob" Hamilton, passed away on Monday, August 17, 2020 at O.S.U.'s Wexner Medical Center, Columbus. He was born on August 25, 1952 in Dayton to Mildred Margebell (Coder) and Marvin Milton Hamilton. Bob was retired from Roadway Trucking Company in Cincinnati where he worked as a mechanic. He also worked for many years at Standard Register as a millwright.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, brother-in-law Bill Riggs. He is survived by his daughter Tonya Cintron (Rick); siblings, Mike Hamilton (Pattie), Diane Riggs, Greg Hamilton (Carol), and Rick Hamilton; and close friends Jeff & Julie Umstead.
Bob was a mechanic and millwright by trade, making him very capable and handy, he was the type of guy that could do anything. He even built his house from the ground up. Bob loved hunting in Ball Town, Kentucky, using both a gun and a bow, and fishing at Camp Mac in Florida. As a self reliant man, he raised his own food from chickens, cows, and pigs to a large and flourishing garden. As the life of the party, he also enjoyed hosting his own pig roasts. Bob was also a motorcycle biker and belonged to ABATE. He enjoyed going motor homing, camping, and doing absolutely anything he could in the great outdoors. As a younger man, Bob loved cars and used to race at Kilcare Speedway in his Camaro.
