Arthur Jack Hamilton, 91, passed into eternity on April 7, 2013, while at home with his loving family. Jack Hamilton was born to Ruby and Arthur Hamilton in Lawton, Okla., in 1921. After graduation from school in Elgin, Okla., he joined the National Guard and was attending college when World War II began.
It was between maneuvers that he chose to visit a cousin living in Indiana and met the love of his life, Marjorie B. Hamilton. They were married on May 20, 1942, in Leominster, Mass.
He was a member of the 45th Infantry Division of Oklahoma and served in North Africa and in Italy. He served for two years in the European Theater and fought in many battles, including the Sicily and Salerno landings and the Crossing of the Volturna, as well as the battles of Venafro and the Anzio Beachhead Operation.
After the war, Jack ran the family farm in Indiana. A few years later, his family, which now included a daughter and son, moved to California where he began a career in real estate. He was successful in his endeavors and the Conger and Hamilton Real Estate, and later, the Jack Hamilton Realty signs were seen all through the Napa Valley.
Also a talented musician, Jack played his saxophone and clarinet while overseas as well as playing at the dances at Mare Island and Travis Air Force Base.
Jack is survived by his beautiful bride of 71 years, Marjorie B. Hamilton; his brother, Tim Allred; his son, Larry Hamilton; his daughter, Jacqueline Hamilton Hazeltine; and his grandchildren, Keri Hazeltine Goo, Jennifer Hazeltine Ellison, Erika Hamilton Mines, Damion Hamilton, Julie Pierce Hamilton, as well as many great-grandchildren. His parents, brother Wayne Hamilton, and sister Betty Lou Walker preceded him in death, and welcomed him with open arms into eternity.
Jack leaves behind a legacy of family devotion, service to country, and a heart of loving kindness. He will be sorely missed by all who loved him.
