We've just learned of the Oct. 20 passing of past Loveland Fishing Club member William J. (Bill) Hamlin, 82.
Bill grew up with a deep appreciation for nature and a sense of adventure that carried through his whole life. After graduating from Colorado State University in 1967 with a degree in Biological Sciences, he proudly served his country as a medic in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. A role that reflected his lifelong compassion and sense of service. Throughout his career Bill brought dedication and heart to his work in the California Fish and Wildlife Department, Roseburg Lumber Company in California and Porter Industries in Colorado.
Bill’s life was filled with friendships, adventures and joy. In 2019, he was deeply honored to take part in the Honor Flight to visit the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington D.C. – a trip that held great meaning for him. He was a member of the Loveland Fishing Club and VFW Post 15.
Allnut Funeral Services is handling arrangements. A Celebration of Life will be held at the VFW at a later date. Bill's complete obituary can be found on the following link: William Hamlin Obituary - Loveland, CO
