We regret to advise of the death of Reverend Robert Paul “Bob” Hamlin at St Boniface Hospital, MB on 30 January 2026 at the age of 94.
Bob spent his early years in Benson SK. At the age of 17, he joined the Royal Canadian Engineers and spent eight years in various Canadian locations as a Draftsman. Those years honed his interest in planning, building and problem-solving.
Bob retired from the Canadian Forces in 1956, and then enrolled in the Faculty of Arts at United College, where he earned a BA and later a Masters of Theology. After his ordination in 1963, Bob was placed in Red Lake ON, with subsequent callings to United Churches in Manitoba at Roblin and Winnipeg. He also served for several years in administration with Winnipeg Presbytery. Bob retired in 1995.
A celebration of life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on 19 February 2026, at Immanuel United Church in Winnipeg. Online condolences can be sent to the funeral home. Please consider a memorial donation to Immanuel United Church or Siloam Mission.
