    Hamilton loved sports, especially croquet, where his favorite team was the Washington Fancypants. He worked as a general haberdasher for 30 years, but was forced to give up the career he loved due to his keen attention to detail He spent his free time watching golf on TV; and he played uno, badmitton and basketball almost every weekend.
