HAMILTON,Warren (Hammy) 1934-2014.

Born 18 Jan 1934 in Yarmouth, Hammy was a proud member of the Canadian Armed Forces where he spent most of his career on Radar Sites and small bases, but his last posting was in Cornwallis. A highlight of that tour was when he made an heroic attempt to resuscitate a young cadet who had been under water in the Base pool too long, but after 30-45 Min he was forced to give up. That had a profound emotional effect on Hammy, as he was a good youth leader and teacher. On retirement from Cornwallis he returned to Raynardton, Yarmouth County where he worked with special needs clients for the Yarmouth Regional Hospital and YACRO. Warren was an avid sportsman, hunter and fisherman who shared his passion with many friends at camp or around a salmon pool. He enjoyed a good yarn, never missed coffee with friends and attended as many eastern PERI reunions he could. In his later years Warren moved to Dartmouth, N.S. Hammy was a beloved and popular Rec Spec/PERI for more than three decades of service in the CF/RCAF. A close life-long friend of deceased Rec Spec "Richie" Hubbard, they were hometown boys. Hammy will be laid to rest, as is Richie, in "the hood."
