05/31/2026

The Marcy Family is proud to announce the graduation of Hamilton Spero, he not only graduated from high school, but also from Kent State Ashtabula Campus with his associates degree.
Hamilton started working for the funeral home at the age of 14, he would mow the lawns and make sure the cars were washed and spotless for funerals. As the last few years have come and gone, he has grown not only as a young man but also as a key employee (family member as we call it). Each day he has learned so much and continues to learn all the aspects of the funeral home business and assisting to serve each family who call on us during their time of need.
Today begins a new chapter in Hamiltons life and our funeral home as well! Hamilton has been accepted into the program at Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science and after completing the necessary classes will be returning to Conneaut to serve a year of apprenticeship and work alongside Kori as an Embalmer and Funeral Director.
We are so proud of Hamilton and excited to have him return to work in the family business and help us serve the Conneaut area for many more years.
Congratulations Hamilton (AKA Bob’s mini me), we love you!
