Hamilton, Scott Milo
Ithaca: Scott Hamilton, 70, of Ithaca, NY passed away November 17, 2014 after smiling, flirting, filling every hospital space with jovial conversation, and whistling his way through a brief fight with cancer. Scott "Scooter" or "Pop Pop" was born in New York City three minutes before his beloved twin brother, Bob, on June 19, 1944. Together these two marched through life attending Trinity High School in New York City and The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. "Pop Pop" was a storyteller, charmer, and ebullient fellow with a conversation, kind word and smile for everyone.
His greatest love was his family, including his cherished wife of 47 years, Sue, his daughter, Donna Hamilton Kellermann (granddaughter Grace Kellermann), his sons, William Hamilton (wife Beth Grant Hamilton, grand children Grant, Gregory and Anna Hamilton), Robert Hamilton, and John Hamilton (wife Elizabeth Hamilton, grand children Hunter, Lawson, Benton, Thatcher and Channing Hamilton).
Scott and Sue were known to many in Ithaca as the proprietors of Ide's Lanes and several adjacent businesses, in addition to being the owner of several local Subway franchises. More significant to Scott were his roles as a small fry football and bowling coach, and heroic fan to each and every athletic, creative, educational and life event of his wife, children and grandchildren. Scott was exuberant, grateful, creative, irreverent, giving and will forever be missed and celebrated for the love he gave to his family, friends and community. To his children, grandchildren, niece and nephew he imparted the finer points of telling stories, indoor carpet football, lake bathing, fishing, celebrating everything, gratitude and whole-hearted love. His daily gift to his family was tremendous, unrelenting love, unconditionally felt with adoring gazes, bear hugs and zealous declarations of affection. As a die hard Wolverine Alumni, Scott's wardrobe consisted primarily of blue and gold M laden apparel. In the week before his death, he attended a football reunion weekend in Ann Arbor with fellow Phi Delta Theta fraternity brothers and dear cousins Dick and Doris Reinholt; a weekend he declared, as he did all things, the BEST weekend ever.
Scott was predeceased by his parents Donald and Ruth Hamilton, his twin brother Robert Hamilton and his son-in-law David Kellermann.
In addition to his wife, children and grandchildren, he is survived by his sister-in-law Diane Hamilton, his nephew Bryce Hamilton (wife Hilary, their children Sawyer, Rafferty and Hadley), his niece, Tyler Hamilton Larmee (husband Scott and their children Austen and Seton). He would add to this a long list of extended relatives, dear co-workers and friends, and recent care givers whose medical attention he greatly appreciated and respected.
A memorial service will be held this Saturday, November 22, 2014 at 11:00 AM at the First Congregational Church in Cayuga Heights.
Scott would ask, in place of flowers, for random acts of kindness to others, donations to charities meaningful to those wishing to contribute to their communities, and an extra show of gratitude or love towards a dear friend or family member.
