Obituary

Beloved husband of Vicki L. Hamlett, precious father of Christina (Jad) Dunning, and Valery (Steve) Needham passed away on May 11, 2013.  He is survived by four grandchildren he adored: Mason, Jack, Josie and Charlie. Bob was born and raised in Arizona where he graduated with a BS in Business from Arizona State University. He and his family moved to Plano in 1980.  His support of the youth in the Plano Community was his and Vicki’s passion as they religiously attended Plano Wildcat football, baseball, softball, and basketball games for the next 33 years. He was an entrepreneur, owning several businesses until his retirement one year ago from the publishing industry where he started his career. Bob was an avid fisherman, golfer, animal lover and a very involved and dedicated Grandfather.  He made every environment he was in a better place.  A true testimony to his loving, giving nature are the many, many friends who love him and will deeply miss him.  He is also survived by two brothers, Bill and Pat Hamlett and a sister, Julie Monfred, as well as many neices and nephews.  He will never be forgotten.  In honor of Bob’s true love for all animals, big and small, we ask that, in lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Plano Animal Shelter at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TX01.html. A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 A.M., Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at Prince of Peace Catholic Church 5100 W. Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75093.  Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
