It is with great sorrow that we learned about the passing of Roger Hamilton. Roger always brought kindness, caring, and laughter to our '62 lunches and reunions. 

He will be greatly missed!

Roger's obituary can be found at https://www.keehngriffinfuneralhome.com/obituary/roger-hamilton where you can leave a message for Lois and his family. The obituary says:

Roger Eugene Hamilton, born on December 15, 1943, to the late Eugene and Daisy Hamilton, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2024. Roger was a devoted husband to his wife, Lois, and a loving father to his children Ryan Hamilton, Jennifer (Jimmy) Moore, and Christopher (Mira) Johnson. He was also a proud grandfather, affectionately known as "Puka," to his seven grandchildren: Kayla, Nathan, Daniel, Bryan, Annie, Millie, and Luke. Roger is survived by his three sisters, Sally Grandsko, Sue Wright, and Lisa (Scott) Vlk, and was preceded in death by his brother Steve Hamilton and sister Penny Henderson. His lifelong best friend, Bud, was a constant presence in his life.

Roger was a lifelong golfer with a passion for the sport that was evident to all who knew him. He cherished his time on the golf course and was an active member of his golf league. Beyond the greens, Roger found his greatest joy in spending time with his grandchildren, creating lasting memories filled with love and laughter. His family will forever remember him for the warmth, kindness, and joy he brought into their lives, leaving them with nothing but cherished memories.

Very sad news from Northern Michigan is that our classmate Paul Voorheis has passed away. His wife Mary Ann passed away unexpectedly in August. Both were beloved teachers and very active in their community. Paul was also a long-time member of a band called The Keelhaulers.
