Don Hamlet Obituary

My Dad was the strongest man I have ever known and even if he hadnt been my Dad he was my best friend and influence in my life .I learned how to be strong inside,And that helping some one. Thats exsactly what you do not exspect anything a simple thankx will do .that your word and honor are really the two most things true value along with your spirit. I am ashamed and hurt that my brother and moms greed the last few years of his life they brow beat him . Never took him to the hospital after he fell 4 times at home . After he told me he fell .so i made him go to the hospital which at that time saved his life with emergency Heart surgery . And when i returned from iraq mom and Ron tried to keep me from my dad so they could keep there twisted plan going. My brother might be able to steal al my fathers property and belongings but he will never be able to take the true Ritches my father installed in me . Love you and miss you Dad your faithful son Lee

My Uncle Don was the only truly good person in our family of 15. He was always quick to help anyone, loan them money (and never got paid back), when anyone needed help of any kind, they ran to Uncle Don.
He was very kind to me as an unwanted, unloved child. On my 11th Birthday he bought me a Red Ryder BB gun, it was the best (and probably only gift I ever received.
I remember him when he was a teenager, he loved to dance, he played the guitar, and he'd tell me about the ranch we'd own someday and he wanted a black horse named Tornado. I'll miss him.
He was the only happy memory I have of my childhood.
