To the Louis Hamilton's family, I am Samson Byrd, Coldwater, MS. I served a year in Vietnam with your dad. The words of comfort you and his former students are sharing about him, I saw it firsthand, in 1967, in Vietnam. I saw the carpenter, the musician, mathematician, the love for the Filipino people, and the great educator that he would become. Samson Byrd

I offer sincere sympathy and prayers for Hamilton family.

My deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Hamilton.

I am one of the many students whom Mr. Hamilton taught Trigonometry at Crystal Springs High School. He not only had a remarkable passion for mathematics, but he also cared deeply about his students and was dedicated to preparing them for life beyond high school.

Teachers of his caliber are rare, and I am honored to have been one of his students. His impact extended far beyond the classroom, and the lessons he taught will remain with many of us throughout our lives.

While we mourn his passing, take comfort in knowing that his spirit lives on through the countless lives he touched and the positive influence he had on so many students.

was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. [Teacher's Name]'s passing. He was my high school math teacher and someone I will always remember. One of my favorite memories is seeing him look down over the top of his glasses, tap his finger on my desk, and say, "Young..." whenever he needed my attention. Even after all these years, I can still picture that moment and hear his voice. He was a dedicated teacher who made a lasting impact on so many students. I am grateful for the lessons he taught, both in math and in life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. May he rest in peace and may his memory continue to live on through the many students he inspired.

Daddy, I'm trying to accept this as reality. My head is flooded with memories of our family trips, fishing at the pond, car rides to/from school, hiking in the woods to the railroad, talking about music and security measures, etc. I even smile when thinking about you bragging about all six of us to strangers in the mall (even though I couldn't stand it back then). I smile about your phase of listening to only Filipino music, even though you didn't understand the words. I smile thinking of you playing the bass guitar to Who's Loving You, My Hero, and Misty Blue. I laugh thinking about how you drove me to prom with Joi and Mama in the backseat. I think back to how any time you lost me in Barnes & Noble, you'd have them announce, "Gina Tablizo, your dad is waiting for you at customer service." I miss your little tempers, how you'd go on a rant about something, and telling me that you had a bone to pick with me. I miss you so much, but I will never forget what you taught me. I will carry you with me forever and I hope I can continue to make you proud. I know you'll watch over me and our family. I love you, daddy. Love your daughter, Gina.

Daddy, I can still feel the excitement of being a little girl and going outside to find you working in the yard. Dyquavis and I would ride our bikes around the house, and I can still hear your voice saying, "Let's race!" Without hesitation, you would jump on my little pink bike and take off, always letting us kids win anyway. As a child, I couldn't help but think, "Wow, my dad is so cool," and honestly, I still do. There are countless memories like that—so many that I could fill an entire book with the stories, laughter, and special moments we shared. Thank you for making my childhood so memorable and for giving me a lifetime of moments that I will cherish forever. Thank you for being an amazing father, role model, and source of unconditional love. The lessons you taught me, the encouragement you gave me, and the love you showed me will stay with me always. In return, I will pass those same gifts on to my children. I love you, Papa Bear, today, tomorrow, and forever. Until we meet again. Love always, Your daughter, Joi
