Hamlin
Luther William Hamlin, 81,
went home to be with the Lord on
Saturday, Sept. 8, 2007.
Mr. Hamlin was bom Feb. 10,
1926, in Terrell, Kaufman
County, Texas, to the late Vance
and Mattie Lee (Sifford) Hamlin.
He was raised at Buckner Or-
phanage in Dallas from age 4
after his mother’s untimely death.
He left there at 13 to seek out his
father in Oklahoma.
Eventually, his father sent him
to live with his maternal aunt in
Terrell, where he worked on that
family’s farm until striking out on
his own a few years later. He
returned to Dallas and eventually
worked on the railroad, then at
Chance Vought which later be-
came known as Ling Temco
Vought or LTV. In the 1960s, he
was “rented” from LTV to work
on a government project in Hous-
ton known as NASA.
A few years after moving to
Dallas, he met Marjorie Kathe-
rine Green whom he married in
December of 1950. They were
married for nearly 52 years until
her death in 2002. They reared
three children together, living
first in Dallas, then DeSoto then
in Duncanville, eventually return-
ing after retirement to Maijorie’s
roots in East Texas, living in
Marietta, Texas.
Luther leaves behind a legacy
of family and friends who knew
him as a man who loved his fam-
ily dearly, who worked hard to
provide for them and was a “man
of prayer.”
He was a man of God who
brought up his children to know
and love the Lord as much as he
did. Ask him to pray for some-
thing and you knew it would be
prayed for, not just once, but
many times.
He loved his church, first
Wheatland Baptist on the out-
skirts of Dallas near DeSoto, then
Northside Baptist in Duncanville
and then Oak Ridge Baptist in
Marietta. He had a heart for mis-
sions, participating in many mis-
sion projects throughout the
years. On a mission trip to El
Paso, he even learned a little
Spanish, learning to sing “Santo,
Santo, Santo.”
Luther William Hamlin
Services were held at 2 p.m.

rel Land Memonal Chapel in
Dallas.
Interment was held at 10 a.m.

The American Diabetes Association
challenges North Texas walkers to
Step Out to Fight Diabetes
To keep pace with the grow-
ing number of Americans with
diabetes, the American Diabetes
Association (ADA) challenges
North Texas communities to Step
Out to Fight Diabetes in a new
fundraising walk on Oct. 13, at
American Airlines Center Vic-
tory Park Plaza in Dallas. Regis-
tration is taking place now at
www.diabetes.oiTg/stepout or by
calling 1-888-DIABETES.
Formerly known as Amenca s
Walk for Diabetes, Step Out to
Fight Diabetes is a one-day walk
taking place in 200 cities across
the nation. With nearly 21 million
Americans living with diabetes,
ADA created Step Out to Fight
Diabetes as an aggressive attack
against the disease - and a cry of
hope for those affected by it.
“It’s going to be a great event
this year and in a great location,”
Edwin Evidente, chair of this
year’s event, said. “With so many
Americans affected by diabetes,
we want to reach out to them,
educate them and bring a new
generation of people into the
ADA family. Working together is
the only way we will find a cure
for this disease.”
At a Step Out to Fight Dia-
betes event, routes range from
two to six miles and are accessi-
ble to people of all ages and lev-
els of mobility. Along the walk,
participants are supported by vol-
unteers offering water, snacks,
entertainment and encourage-
ment. The event draws a large
contingency of individuals and
teams, comprised of families,
friends and corporations, all
walking and raising money in
support of ADA.
Step Out to Fight Diabetes is
being sponsored locally by
McArthy and Alliance Data as
well as Movin’ 107.5, Univision
Television, Univision Radio and
WFAA. National sponsors of the
event include Cary’s Sugar Free
Syrup, Diet Rite and Kmart
Pharmacy. All funds raised from
Step Out to Fight Diabetes are
used in support of the Asso-
ciation’s mission: to prevent and
cure diabetes and to improve the
lives of all people affected by dia-
betes.
Diabetes is the fifth-deadliest
disease in the United States.
Since 1987 the death rate due to
diabetes has increased by 45 per-
cent, while the death rates due to
heart disease, stroke and cancer
have declined. Due to the fact that
diabetes manifests itself in two
main types, type 1 and type 2, the
disease is often misunderstood by
the public.
To be a part of the cure, visit
diabetes.org/stepout or call 888-
DIABETES. Step Out to Fight
Diabetes offers an exciting event
experience for volunteers, partic-
ipants and all those who enjoy the
feeling of being part of a commu-
nity.
The Amencan Diabetes
Association is the nation’s lead-
ing voluntary health organization
supporting diabetes research, in-
formation and advocacy. Found-
ed in 1940, the Association pro-
vides services to hundreds of
communities across the country
For more information, call the
Amencan Diabetes Association
