Jim Hamilton was a colleague of mine and he and his son, Connor, passed away in a tragic jet ski accident on July 2.
Among our community, Jim was known as a great scientist, but he touched so many lives in so many ways... he was also known as a great leader, a poker buddy, a Tough Mudder racer, a Cub Scout, a soccer coach, a trumpeter... and simply a great friend.
In honor of Jim and his son, a GoFundMe campaign at the link below has been launched, to benefit his wife, Holly, and their 12-year old daughter Cassie. Transactions are fast and secure, and all funds raised go directly to Holly and Cassie, to be applied to funeral costs, college funds for Cassie, etc.
I have attached a link to the gofundme page that has been set up to help his wife and daughter through this troubling time. I usually don't ask for donations on here but I just have been touched by this accident and thought that some on here may be able to help out. Please if you could donate any amount of money and prayers, it would be greatly appreciated by his family. Thank you & God Bless.

That is horrible. Thoughts and prayers sent.
Many prayers sent. I can't begin to imagine what the family is going through. May The Lord bring them peace.
Thanks guys for all the prayers. I know the family appreciates and can use them. God Bless.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend and his son. I lost my best friend a couple years ago and I think of him daily.
