Anthony B. Hamilton Nov. 29, 1934 ~ Sept. 20, 2012

September 21, 2012, 9:03 am by Staff Reports

On Sept. 20, Anthony "Tony” B. Hamilton died peacefully in the presence of his family at his home in Bayfield, Colo. Despite two years of suffering with liver cancer, he courageously continued to embrace living by means of faith, philosophical acceptance, and long hikes with his border collie. Had he still been living in Bay City, Texas, however, he would no doubt have spent his last years hunting red fish in Matagorda, Texas.
His wife, Hope "Sissy,” his four children (Adair, Vance, Marc, and Vaughn), and his eight grand children remain blessed for having been made of part of him.
He is survived by wife "Sissy” Hope; children Adair, Vance, Marc and Vaughn; and his eight great-grandchildren, who remain blessed for having been able to be a part of his life.
Hamilton was born on Nov. 29, 1934 to Tom and Ruby Hamilton in Wharton, Texas. He graduated from the University of Texas with a law degree and married Caroline "Sissy” Hope Almy in Ft. Worth on Jan. 29, 1958. After practicing law in Houston and Bay City, he retired jointly to Marble Falls and Bayfield. He had read every history book in his two favorite libraries, and loved high school and college football, especially the Longhorn football team. He enjoyed kayaking the waters of central Texas and never tired of hiking the high trails of southern Colorado with his beloved dog, Guapo.
Memorial gifts may be made to the Marble Falls Public Library, 101 Main St., Marble Falls, 830.693.3023.
