Robert Hamilton Obituary

In just hearing of his passing, I am honored to have worked beside him and to have been mentored by him. He will be deeply missed.

For the handful of times I got to meet you, you always had a giant smile!!! With Love, Danielle

I worked with Robert to provide imaging to Emergicare patients in the 1990s and had many enjoyable interactions. He was an impressive man and a model for others. I will miss Robert and will always remember his passion for life and for those in his care.

I was a classmate of Bob's in medical school. Even though that was 50 years ago, he is an unforgettable person for his warm, giving nature. He would do anything for anyone in need. The world is a better place for his presence. He created so many wonderful memories of life for so many people. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Thank you Robert for being our true friend. We love and miss you Robert. You were always available when needed for us or others in need!

I loved living next door to the Hamiltons in Pueblo. Quite a life, big Rob. You will be missed.

Backpacking in the Sangres', Robert accompanied me fly fishing Sand Creek Lake. Me, fly casting; Robert, on his belly soaked to his neck reaching under rocks for the elusive cutthroat. Robert caught at 23", five pound cutthroat barehanded! Several wonderful memories with Robert of the outdoor-kind. My heartfelt condolences to Hamilton family.

Robert was a good neighbor and friend.
I appreciated his support during tough times.
My sympathies go out to Joanie and family.

I was able to meet Robert (Doc) for the first time this summer riding in the Flat Tops Wilderness and as a member of the TITO tent with 3R. What and impression he made during our week long ride. A pillar of wisdom, A gracious and kind soul, Always had a smile and A friend whom I will miss.

It was a pleasure to know and work with Dr. Hamilton. He was my mentor and friend...he will be missed.

We were shocked to hear of Robert´s death. We left for Mexico 12/16 and returned 12/25. The papers weren´t delivered on our return. Robert was a smart businessman, a loving husband, father and grandfather. He will be missed by all who knew him. May God rest his soul. There was a time when with three other couples we studied the book of John once a week for no less than three years. We became close friends. Robert was a man of many talents. Sincere condolences to Joan and his adult children.

Robert was a man with a generous spirit; bright, entertaining, considerate and uniquely charming.

Rob, Josh, and Liz,

The passing of your dad is an opportunity for me to tell you how fortunate I feel for having known him, and by extension, all of you. I have fond memories of your quiet dedication to the task at hand, your joy and good humor, and your compassion for others. They enriched my teaching and coaching life, and I am forever grateful,

And they had a source. To Dad, I say, "Into paradise may the angels lead you."

Deepest, kindest regards for your loss.

Our condolences to Joan and family. Our organization had a great relationship with Robert, well beyond owner and tenant. We will all miss him. We will attend the memorial at Flying W.

Hello Joan this is Wayne, i worked for yall for 5 years and it was a great pleasure working with Dr.Hamilton and being part of the emergicare crew and helping the community. I learned a lot from my experience and the knowledge Dr. Hamilton gave me in my carrier in health care. We enjoyed all the company parties we had at the ranch. So sorry for your loss. God Bless and take care

Spent quite bit of time with Robert the past few months, what an interesting & challenging person. Always willing to strike up a conversation with & discuss anything with anyone, ones of his favorites being the Babcock Hole Ranch & Charles Goodnight. Robert left a big foot print in the road of life. As he always said. Vaya con Dios my friend.

Dear Josh, Abram and Huxley...I am so sorry for your loss. I remember grandpa coming to the preschool to talk to the students about being a cowboy and the kids were amazed. Grandpa was a gentle soul and I know Abram and Huxley will miss him, but will carry on his spirit.

I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. I know he had many exceptional qualities as doctor/businessman/rancher but the ones I had the pleasure of knowing were his extraordinary ability to instantly connect with almost anyone. He could truly engage in a conversation on any topic and you knew he was truly interested in you as a person.
Joan I never had the pleasure of meeting you but you must be wonderful as Robert shared many warm thoughts of you in the conversations we had on the trail and in camp on the Round-up Rides.
His enthusiasm for life was contagious. I will miss him and my heartfelt condolences go to his family and all whose life he touched. He truly did leave the world a better place.

Joan, so sorry to learn of Robert´s passing. Mary and I send our condolences, and our prayers are with you and the family. Peace be with you. Love Jim and Mary Evans

Was a honor to have know Robert, even if only for a short while. I am glad we met and talked and so on. He was a Good guy and made me giggle a few too. Wished I could have known him longer.

Robert was a blessing to us and we will always be grateful for our friendship with him and Joan. We shared so much together and especially loved our horseback trips. We will miss him.

My sympathies go out to all Robert's family. He left us far too soon. We always connected because our names connected. My middle name is Hamilton and Robrt's is Sanford. During the 2010 ride he took my tent mate and great friend, Fred Larkin, to the hospital in Laramie(I think). He got a police escort and did 100 MPH in my 09 Lexis. My last ride, 2011, my slicker felloff my saddle horn on a steep rocky trail. I decided to abandon it rather than dismount and pick it up. But not Robert, 2 horses behind me he retrieved it for me. Just a note on the little things, among the big things that distinguished this wonderful man.

We all lost a great man and a close friend. What an amazing person and character!

My sympathies to the family of Dr. Hamilton. First heard of him through my Mom and Dad, as they had met him at one of the Drs. offices in Pueblo. He had just moved to town and had no place for his horses. My dad offered to pasture them, and lo and behold he accepted. They developed a lasting friendship. I personally, used to see him at soil savers on occasion. Nice man - lived life to the fullest.

A wonderful man who will be greatly missed.

Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. I had the blessing of riding with Robert on the Roundup Rides and he was a gift of friendship to many. Always a smile on his face and warmth from his heart.
Respectfully,
Terry and Denise Nelson

I met Robert on the 3R rides 10 years ago. Always great to share the trail with this very fine man.

That was a beautifully written obituary capturing the life of an amazing man. On the Roundup Ride, my cot was usually right next to Robert. I loved being near him as he always expressed genuine interest in me and my journey, and he had so much to share on his journey, books we shared, and many topics of life. It seemed he never cut short a conversation, always had time for you and made you feel special and valued. There are so many other fine qualities of Robert I am missing here. I feel knowing Robert has been one of the great blessings of my life. - Jim Goff

Great man. Sincere sympathy to the family.

Our deepest condolences to you and your family on the passing of Dr. Hamilton. May your memories of Dr. Hamilton bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time. Keeping you in prayer.
