We are so very sorry to hear of your loss which we just read on line while vacationing in Virginia. We will not be home in time to attend the memorial service but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will be in touch in a few weeks. We remember "Hammie" fondly as a little boy when we visited frequently in Schenectady with my mom, Aunt Kathryn.

Dear Canoll Family,

I am so very, very, sorry for your loss of "Hammy". I remember very well the times that he spent at our house on Myron Street playing with my brother Jeffrey. And when Mom was here in Atlanta last week, we spoke of Hammy and how he used to tell Mom "my compliments to the chef" when he was just a kid. It sounds like Hammy gave much back to society, and he will truly be missed by all who were lucky enough to cross his path. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Allie Roberts
