He was a talented and determined man, always working to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. His knowledge and guidance was the foundation of his family.
He was a passionate mechanic, sport-shooter, craftsman and patriot and could often be found creating new projects from his own design in his shop at home.
Survivors also include his son, Aaron Hammond; and granddaughter, Piper.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and sisters, Dorothy Hollingsworth and Lucinda Butler.
o Memorial services will be at 10 a.m. Friday, June 21, 2024 at Garnand Funeral Home Chapel in Ulysses, with Pastor Steve Walters presiding.
