Not sure what to say?

Hi Ham, I think of you often and all the things we did together at work. May you always rest in peace.

I have thought about you many times this past year Ham. I have fond memories of working with you at Upjohn Healthcare all those years. The many laughs we shared and all the unselfish help and guidance you gave me. You were indeed a pleasure to be with through the many times and incidences we had together. I always revered having to "look up" to you! Kent is a fortunate man to have had a father so dedicated to his wellbeing and a successful future. May God rest your eternal soul.

Ham was my first boss with Upjohn-Homemakers, and good friend. We had.many great times when he came to Tampa to spend time in my territory. Thankfully I had breakfast with him during the past few years. He loved his family, was a joy to know and I will miss him.

Ham was a highly regarded & respected friend & coworker. He was fun & enjoyable to be with. He was a kind, caring & loving husband. He was very proud & supportive of Kent. God bless you, Ham, you'll long be remembered.

Ham was the founder and social chairman of the Distinguished Gentlemens Club. We met for lunch at the Beacon Club and were able to solve all the worlds problems during our monthly sessions. One the most intelligent, erudite and humor-filled men Ive known. Ham will be deeply missed.

Ham was a long-time friend and a remarkably fine person. Many of us enjoyed his good company and unfailing humor, much of which was on display on the tennis court. He will be well-remembered and missed by many. Rest well, old Friend.

Ham was one of my favorite mentors when I joined Upjohn in 1980. Not only were his business insights helpful but his compassion and views on life were very valuable. Although it had been many years since I saw Ham I will always treasure our times together at Upjohn. Thank you My friend. David Court Atlanta

Ham and his family were great neighbors here at Austin Lake. So sorry for your loss Kent.
