Dr. James William Hammock

Our lives were certainly made richer by Jim Hannock and his family. Jim had many gifts and among one of the best was his gift of preaching God's Word-he always said this is not "my" word but God's Word. Thank you Jim for sharing your gifts with so many thousands of people - we will see you again. We all miss you and our thoughts and prayers go to Deri at this difficult time in her life. Thank you for being Jim Hammock. Jim and Judy Rish/11-25-08

Dear Grieving Ones,
As a child I lived in Boggy Creek and went to elementary school with James at Cypress Park Elementary in Taft. We were good friends and James was my dance partner in the square dance group. My family moved to St. Cloud in 1964 and I never saw James again, but I never forgot him. I heard years later he had become a Baptist minister. This week I heard from another old friend that James had passed away. How swiftly life flies by and when we lose our dearest ones it makes...

Dear Deri & Family,
So very sorry to hear about James,He was a good man, consoled our family with the loss of our mother, We could not have beared that alone.He's home now,with all our loved ones,watching over us.

Dear Kim, Rob, and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Greta (Weigley) and Bill Youngman

Dear Deri and Hammock Family,
Our hearts are broken and words cannot express the sadness we feel. Our memories of James are most precious to us. He sang at our wedding 32 yrs ago. Growing up with you, James and Brenda is one of those special memories. What an inspiration it was to the youth group at DSBC when God called James to the ministry.
He was truly a giver with a very tender heart.
What a beautiful difference one single life made.
Love & Prayers,
Denny & Sharon

Dear Sweet Family, God has blessed me in many ways but sending me to Compass and Jim is certainly one of His richest blessings for me. I loved our time together & claim the right to always feel a part of you & a part of Compass. Josh, you not only did you Dad proud at his service, you did your Heavenly Father proud as well.
Love & prayers, Dottie Smith

I don't always read the paper, but then there are times God leads us to what he wants us to see.
I remember Jim and your family while you ministered among us at First Baptist Sweetwater.
I am very sorry for your loss. In His Grip,

Dear Hammock Family,
Words cannot adequately convey how sorry I am for your loss. I and members of my family had only known Jim a short time while he was the interium pastor for our church, College Park Baptist Church, but we were richer for even a small experience. Rachel and Chris were in the Easter program with him and thought he was terrific! You will all be in our prayers.

Hammock Family,
God Bless. We will all miss Brother Jim. Our prayers are with you today.
