I've known Mr. Hammonds since I was a young man. From his days of square dancing and being a driver for Vulcraft, he was a very kind man; always had the time to talk, always interested in how you were. He was one of the few that genuinely cared for others. Although I hadn't seen him in a long while, I have lost a good friend. Prayers of condolences for you, his family. I am sorry for your loss. The world is truly a better place for having had him in it.

I have such fond memories of Mr. Hammonds. He used to ride little Ben down to the cafe' on his John Deere. I always enjoyed talking to him. Such a nice man. So sad to hear of his passing. Another angel in heaven.

I am so very sad to hear of this great earthly loss . I just talked with him last Sunday at the front door at Valley Head Baptist. I enjoyed getting to chat with him and sharing some good laughs. I feel blessed to have known this amazing southern gentleman. I will remember his kind smile and gentle spirit.
