Don was born July 4, 1944, in Clearwater, Kansas, to Dennis Hamilton and Christine (Rankin) Robl. After graduating from high school, Don worked for over 40 years in the oil field services industry. During that time, he and his family relocated all over the Midwest and Southern states, meeting new friends at each new location before finally settling in College Station. Don was passionate about fishing, often taking his dog Molly, and he enjoyed working during his semi-retirement at Gibbons Creek Reservoir, serving as an officer for Burleson County Bass Busters and fishing in countless tournaments around the region. He regularly attended the Texas A&M Women’s Basketball games cheering on the Lady Aggies through many winning seasons. Since living here, Don has been an active member at St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother Brent Robl; and father-in-law Harley Beebe.

Survivors include his loving wife of 50 years, Donna Hamilton of College Station; son and daughter-in-law Scott and Lindy Hamilton and granddaughters Amanda and Bailey of Grovetown, GA; daughter Robin Eisenberg and granddaughter Celeste and grandson Zane of Plano; brother Mark Robl of Sun Valley, NV; sisters and brothers-in-law, Penny and Dean States of Sheridan, WY, Jill and Mark Kucera of Cheyenne, WY; mother-in-law Wilma Beebe of Kimball, NE.

The family would like to express sincere gratitude for the exceptional care provided at St. Joseph’s Critical Care Unit. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Don’s favorite local organization, Camp Bass, a fishing camp for teens (mail to: Camp Bass, 3798 Mancuso, Bryan TX 77808).
