Wayne and I are so sad today to learn of Bob's death. Both Bob and Ruth were very precious to us. They were both like the Ever-ready Bunny just going and going! When they were building in Northstone, Ruth, though recovering from an illness, climbed every step and reviewed every change, nothing held her and them back, Bob spent a lot of time smiling and laughing with her. They were an amazing team and our prayers are with you, Ruth, and the family. We loved you both and appreciated Bob's wisdom and counsel. Since our move to the Western part of the state, we missed being able to visit with you and cherish the times we had with you both.

I'll always remember Dr. Hamblin as a sweet, gentle man of God. My parents, John and Jean Moore, my sister, Daphne, and I all treasured the time we were at Harrisburg Baptist Church with Dr. Hamblin as our pastor. Love to all his family!

One of my favorite professors at NOBTS. A great sense of humour and a warm spirit. Always wanted to play golf with him but didn't relish the thrashing I figured I would get. He found great enjoyment in watching me have to stay and take his final the last day of term while he played golf with some of my friends, because he knew I had been cutting some of his classes in order to take advantage of the good weather to play a round or two. He finally got even and laughed all the way to the course. A great man who will be sorely missed. I am thankful for having known him.

Mrs. Hamblin and family, We are saddened to hear of Dr. Hamblin's passing. He will always hold a special place in our hearts and our family's. Not only did he marry Danny and I 43 years ago, he also married both of our daughters. He was truly a special person.

I am so sorry for your loss. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3,4 states “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away”. Very soon now, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death. Hope these words give you a new hope.

Dear Mrs. Hamblin and Family,

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Hamblin. He was a great influence in leading Roberto to the ministry and was always supportive of his work in the Hispanic community in Tupelo. His friendship meant so much to Roberto and our family. They are now rejoicing together in heaven. We are praying for your peace and comfort.

I grew up hearing Dr. Hamblin give invocations at school and community events in Tupelo, but I came to appreciate his personality and wit on a tour of Europe and the Holy Land in 1967. He was loved wherever he went. I know his death will leave a big empty space in the family. You are in our prayers

Dr. Hamblin was a great preacher of the gospel. He was my good friend on one of my mentors. He will surely be missed. The family is in my prayers.

Dear Mrs. Hamblin & Family,

Debbie & I were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Bob. He was a prince of preachers and a warm-hearted brother in Christ. We were so blessed to have him and Mrs. Hamblin as parishioners and friends for more than fourteen years. Many were the times when he spoke words of encouragement to us and others. Dr. Bob was a pastor, friend and mentor who has had an extraordinary impact on countless lives. We are personally thankful for the many hours we spent in the Hamblin home gleaning from his years of service to our Lord. We shall never forget his deep love for Mrs. Mary Ruth and his family. We join you in celebrating his homegoing and the fulfillment of the promises of God. We pray Christ’s comfort for each of you as you miss him.

Dr. Hamblin was my pastor from the time I was born until I was in college. What a wonderful, godly man he was. So happy for him that he's been promoted to glory. My prayers are with his family. Love to all of you.
