Herb S. Hammons was born February 9, 1920 to Samuel and Marie Anderson Hammons in Sacramento, California. He passed away peacefully in his home on Sunday, March 9, 2014 after a day with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was known affectionately as Bum Bum or Bums to his grandchildren. Herb was married for 70 years to Alpha White Hammons who preceded him in death two years ago. Herb and Alpha were high school sweethearts at Snohomish High School and married two years after graduation in 1941. Herb was best known for his role in Snohomish baseball. His baseball career began at Snohomish High School. In his senior year he had a batting average of .508 and threw two no-hitters. He was offered a baseball scholarship to the University of Idaho and a professional baseball contract with the Cincinnati Reds. He turned down the contract because it paid $50 a month and he was making $100. Family and friends loved hearing baseball stories about his days playing and coaching the Pilchuckers with some of the great baseball players from the Snohomish community. Herb was a coach and president of the Snohomish Little League for twenty years. In 2000 Herb and his family donated money to Snohomish Little League for the creation of a 90' baseball diamond and for bleachers for the Snohomish High School baseball field. Herb retired in 1976 after managing Snohomish Lumber Company, having a partnership in Snohomish Door and Truss, and developing a personal residential real estate business. Herb and Alpha spent twenty years as snow birds in Arizona after their retirement playing golf. Herb had a handicap of 7 with three holes-in-one. Herb also was a Veteran of Foreign Wars having served in the United States Navy during WWII. Herb "Bums" was a relaxed, easy-going, kind, wise, man with a great sense of humor. He served as the head of his family to the very end. He was always consulted before a major decision was made. His family could count on him any hour of the day. He never judged and gave everyone the benefit of the doubt except for umpires. Herb is survived by his three children: Kim Hammons (Sherri), Cindy Crerand (Ray), and Todd Hammons (Kathy); grandchildren: Britta, Cadi, Alan, Isak, Andrea, Amy, Jack, Jake, Nick, Alyssa, and Ashlyn; and 23 great grandchildren. A special thank you from the family to Gina Talton who made it possible for both Herb and Alpha to remain independent in their home to the end. A celebration of Herb's life will be held on Sunday, March 30, 2014 from 1:00 p.m - 4:00 p.m at Kim and Sherri Hammons home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Snohomish High School Baseball. Read Obituary

Leonard Gene Hansen was born September 3, 1925 in Curtis, Nebraska, the sixth child of Albert and Elvena Hansen. He went home to be with the Lord on March 10, 2014. As a young boy, he loved living on the farm. As a teen, his family moved to East Stanwood where he attended Lincoln High School. They later moved to Everett, where he spent his junior and senior years at Everett High School, earning his letterman's "sweater" in football. At age 18, he made the decision to do his part in defending his country, joining the US Navy. He proudly served until 1967, retiring as a Senior Chief Petty Officer. After his retirement from the Navy, he worked at the 3M Company as a customer service representative. Both the Navy and 3M provided him with many lasting friendships. In July of 1951, he married Loraine Gullickson, the woman who he would show his love and loyalty to until his death, over 62 years later. Together, they raised four loving, happy children. Living the last 48 years in the same home, they created very close bonds and relationships with many great neighbors. He was certainly the patriarch of the family. As a husband, Leonard was a loyal, loving, hard working man. As a father, his strong, steely presence was one of right and wrong, but he also had a soft, kind heart. As a grandfather, he was a true Grandpa (or "Papa"), enjoying the time spent watching his grandchildren grow into young adults. For enjoyment, you could find him many summer days on his boat, or on fall Saturday afternoons sitting in Husky Stadium. Leonard was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Gladys; his brothers, Harry, Lavern, Merle and Alvin. He was also preceded in death by his youngest child, daughter, Debbie. He is survived by his wife, Loraine; sons, Larry (Pam), Tim (Jodi), Randy (Janice); grandchildren, Kristi (Todd), Jennifer (Shaun), Nicklaus (Kaylee), Bradley (Ashley), Matthew and Scott; his great-grandchildren, Calen, Camden, Colt, Kasen, Brooks; and two more on the way! He also had many nieces and nephews who he had very close relationships with. A graveside service will be held at Cypress Lawn in Everett on Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Boys Town ( boystown.org ), Hospice of Snohomish County, or the charity of your choice. He finished strong and will be missed by many. Read Obituary
