jonathan 289 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Just wanted to share with the Missouri wrestling community that Jerry Hamilton passed away last weekend. Jerry had been battling cancer the past two years. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Louden 29 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) RIP Obnoxio. Jerry will certainly be missed. He was an incredibly nice guy, always upbeat, and a total goofball. He was always packing a joke or a tease. I will remember fondly the many dual meets and tournaments that we sat together and chatted about anything that came to mind. I even lured him over to be a fan of the "Norfwest Kittens". I hadn't spoken to him in about 10 years or so. Also, Jerry's dad who posted here as Father Joe is also gone, as of October 2018. RIP Padre. The two men were never far apart at wrestling meets and were always welcoming. Sad times. Edited March 7, 2019 by Louden 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fudge tunnel 90 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Those guys always made the “gatherings” at State more enjoyable. The Clown repeatedly screaming “TWO!!!” at the refs at Hooters, and them laughing back, was classic The good old days.... Jerry was far too young to be gone. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warren Haynes 241 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Jerry was one of a kind. I know he volunteered his time to run a table for our tournament here at Fox on more than one occasion, and I doubt we were the only tournament he did that for. We would chat a couple times a year. I'll miss those chats. Pardon my language, but Fuck Cancer! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dort 10 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Thanks for the heads up Jonathan!! This makes me sad...he was always very sweet to me (contrary to his 'public' persona) and loved our sport. He'll definitely be missed. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry was one of a kind and brought a lot of little wrestling groups together. I really hope that Ali Regan makes a World or Olympic team. It would definitely make me think of Obnoxio 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
