John R. Hamlin's Obituary
John Richard Hamlin
“Papa John”
8.8.1946 – 11.1.2015
Husband, father, uncle, brother, PJ…To be in the presence of a man who radiates love, resembles heart and hard work, who is a giver to all those he encounters, we are honored to say that John was the most selfless and compassionate man we have ever known. We remember him for his love, forgiveness, acceptance, humility, comedic abilities, and patience. John loved to golf, cook, "Johnny-Rig" with duct tape, and to work on his boat (that caught more frustrations than fish).
