Hamilton, Arnold Lewis – The family of Arnold Lewis Hamilton, age 85, are deeply saddened to announce his peaceful passing on August 8, 2026, at home.
Born in Noel Shore in 1940, Arnold spent the majority of his life along the shore. To those who knew him well, he had a wicked sense of humor and enjoyed all the good times with his lifelong friends Gary and Grace Beattie, Wendell and Linda Tomlinson, and Brian Miller.
Arnold had a strong work ethic his entire life. After a couple of trips out west, he was a poultry farmer with Cox Bros. Poultry. He then moved on to construction and foundations, working with Wayne Crowell, George Lacey, and Duane Rushton.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Brenda (VanBuskirk); son, Troy, Truro; daughter, Tracey (Darren), Economy; and his ‘best gift ever’, granddaughter, Breanna Barter (Simon), Edmonton; brother, Rudy (Alexandra), Truro; sister, Joyce Hamilton, Truro.
He was predeceased by his parents, Louis and Marion (Hill) Hamilton.
The family would like to express our sincere gratitude to the doctors, nurses and staff at CEHHC, the VON and Continuing Care for all their care and kindness throughout his journey.
Cremation has taken place. Details regarding a Celebration of Life in September will be provided at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Noel Shore Cemetery, or a charity of your choice.
As Arnold would sing… “Country Roads, Take Me Home”.
