Russell Hamilton


So sorry to hear of Russ's passing. I have many fond memories of his stories at St. Luke's when I worked in the IT department. All us young-un's called him OG, for Old Guy. He loved the moniker and played it up. He would bring some donuts from the cafeteria to our department, and when we threatened to take them, he'd give them a quick lick and then laughed when we reacted. He was a quick wit and we all admired Russ. RIP.

I, Steven and Cathy are so sorry for your loss. He had a great life. I remember the great hunting and fishing he used to do with his brother (and my husband, Neil). Was surprised about the baseball playing and his tryout with the NY Yankees. WOW! Neil and I had a lot of fun times playing cards with Russ and Eunice and always enjoyed their family and Holiday gathering. He was always glad to see you and will be missed by all who knew him. Love, Marilyn and family

I am so sorry to hear of the passing. Russ was such a fun loving guy, he and I worked together for many years at St. Lukes. Everyone in our IT department loved him. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss
