He was a United States Army Veteran, obtaining the rank of 1^st Lieutenant, and was Officer in charge of a POW camp in Arkansas.

Mr. Hamill loved serving the Lord in the church and in the community. His favorite music included hymns, choral music and orchestra concerts. His hobbies included playing the violin, choir vocalist, golf, Bible teacher, league bowler until age 90, hand and foot card gamer, travel, and was an avid Cleveland sports fan.

His most enjoyment in life came from his wife of 74 years, Lois, and his children Loren, Dennis and Lynne. Lynne recalls her parents being dance roller skaters and the memories of seeing them glide around the floor are very special.  He will be remember as being devoted, loving, faithful, intelligent, long-suffering, loyal, diligent, and having a servant-heart. He will be missed.
