Phyllis, Kirk and Mark: What a terrific person Allan was and what an impression he made on our lives. I will never forget him, that smile, sense of humor and his generosity. I will miss him dearly. He always inquired about Bernie and his golf game. My twelve years with Hamilton Partners have memories I will never forget. May God give you continued strength to get through this most difficult time. You have our prayers and our love.

My thoughts are with the Hamilton family in this time of loss. I had the opportunity to work with Allan and all of the Hamilton Partners at the beginning of their new organization in 1987. It was an exciting time!

Allan was a man of vision, strong character and conviction. I consider myself lucky to have had a chance to know him.

With fondest regards,

It was a horrible shock the night we recd a call from our son Joe in Fort Benton, mt, about the plane. We met Allan some years ago concerning the "round barn". He was a wonderful, generous and caring individual. And went way beyond in his restoration of a piece of history. Greg was flying back to Nashville from Fl. when we contacted him. He thought the world of Allan. God bless you all

My condolences to the Hamilton family. Although I didn't know Allan, I feel a sense of loss. I drive past the airfield off of 47 daily and have admired the person who could fly from or land on his own air strip. And then there was the horse ranch he just built. Someday I would like to retire in Montana. Allan must have been one heck of a guy!
