Rest in eternal peace our dear cousin Bonnie.  Love from your cousins in Canada, California and Guyana. 

James Hamilton ( Bonny). Son of the late Edwin and Enid Hamilton. His wife and family. 
The Hamiltons and Woolwards have shared a very close family relationship. While living at Skeldon, I had the privilege of sharing childhood relationship with Bonny.
Later in his adult life in New York our relationship rekindled .
While working in Brooklyn he would invite me to his store to have lunch with him. 
He was a strong financial supporter of projects for Skeldon and never failed in his love for Skeldon. 
Farewell Bonny . Your loving smile and memory will live on with us.
My condolences to his wife, children and the entire Hamilton family. 
Claude Woolward.

My condolences to his family

My condolences goes out to the Hamiltons at this moment of sadness of the death of bonny.   H e and I along with Jimmy ( James Grimes, deceased) and oscar, have shared many years of wonderful friendship, and he will be surely missed.   Bonny 's kindness and personality have touched many lives. From what I know of him, he was a businessman and everything he touched, turned in to gold.  He have had a more than wonderful life, that, I celebrate at his passing

Uncle Bonny you were always one of my most favorite people to see as a child, even today I wanna visit you now, but it hurts to know that you aren't with us any longer, so I'm just hoping that your watching over us all and seeing us progress forward everyday. We all love and miss you infinitely much and we will never forget you.

My first memory of bonny was when I first moved to Rockaway with my then 2 year old son, he rented me a bedroom over the store and helped me to settle in,   he later offer me a job at the restaurant. He was always supportive and babysat for me on days when I had to work, but had no one to watch my son. My family and I will forever be grateful and bless to know such a wonderful person. Thank you James for always being there for us, you have left a hole in our heart. Darius is sad he never got to spend the summer in Florida like you wanted.    
 S.I.P my friend.
from-Amanda, Devon and Darius.

To my beautiful sister Coleen and the children Keane and Jamila … our deepest sympathy at this time of the lost of your loving, caring husband and father… James  loved life and found pleasure in travelling with his family and enjoying time together… three years ago we had a wonderful time in Canada … 
We prayed that God would heal him .. but the father had other plans and work for him to do… we will surely miss you Bunny … sleep on in Peace  my brother… Will miss you  🙏 💔💔

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the entire family of my dear friend Bunny. He was not only my friend, we were like brothers. We grew up in Skeldon guyana. When Bunny came to new york we still had that friendship bond. He was the kindest person that I ever met. He would go all the way out to help someone in need. He will be truly missed. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the entire family. May his soul rest in peace. 

God of love and mercy, embrace this family whose hearts overflow with grief at the loss of their dearly departed Bonny. Grant them space to express their tears and hold them close through the coming days.  We had the opportunity to meet Bonny through our friendship with his aunt Phillis.  Dear family, may you know that God is by your side and may you feel His deep tender love with you every moment of every day.  You are in our prayers.  May his soul rest in peace.

Fond memories of James.  I am totally shocked of the untimely death of this dear brother. I  met James through his nephew Dane. Talking about the apple doesn’t fall far from that tree. Dane has the heart and charisma that of his uncle. This brother was solid and genuine in my experience and interaction with him.  James and I had a business exchange for materials that was phasing out but usable. I have a property in Atlanta Georgia.  James was vacationing in Atlanta  at the time when I needed some help.  He came over fixed the issue without a charge. When I asked what I owed. His response”  Doesn’t worry that  is on me”  Whew, not too many people performed that act of kindness.  Need I say more? There is nothing that I can say or do to help comfort the loss but to offer my prayers to the entire family and friends. May the brother soul Rest In Peace. Rampaul( Derick) .
