WILLSBORO — Robert George Hamms, 64, died peacefully at home on Monday, March 11, 2002, surrounded by his loving family.
Bob was born in Willsboro and lived there all his life. On November 28, 1937, he married his beloved Marjorie LaBounty of Keeseville. Together they had four children, Bruce and Russell of Willsboro, Lisa of Cary, N.C., and Pamela of Glens Falls.
Bob will always be remembered for his commitment to his family, his generosity of spirit, his easy-going nature and his ever-present smile. He loved to travel and make frequent trips with family friends. No matter how difficult things in life might be Bob always approached each situation with a positive attitude and determination that he would make the very best of things, even when his own life was at stake. He was respected for his strong work ethic, his integrity and his honesty. Bob was dearly loved and greatly admired by those who were fortunate enough to know him and to be a part of his life.
Until his recent retirement Bob was the owner of Robert Hamms Building Contracting. Previously, he had worked at Cabot Minerals and then as a finish carpenter and cabinetmaker for R. Prescott & Son, for HHP Builders of Willsboro, Dan Summers and Elizabethtown Builders. In this profession, he won a reputation for professionalism and beautiful workmanship.
He also served his country as a member of the U.S. Army Reserves for 8 years.
