James Paul Hammar

A man of deep faith and conviction facing life (and death) with courage. Even as a bus driver confiding in me his experience with graves registration in Vietnam. Bless you, Patrice.

Patrice, you didn't know I drove school bus and worked in the Columbia Transit yard with Jim. As a conscientious objector he worked graves registration in the Viet Nam era. God bless his legacy and you, my friend.

Dear Patrice & family
Please accept our sympathy in Jim's passing. Praise God he is at home with Jesus. Blessings, Carol & Doug Henry

Dear Patrice and family:

I met Jim in '64. We started Bethel together. I am sorry that he has gone. If I went to the State Fair, I always parked at your house so that I could see Jim. He always greeted me with enthusiasm and joy. I remember him as man full of joy and full of pride in his family.
Jim was an incredible athlete at Bethel. As a freshman, he held so many titles but I remember one, the triple jump. I had never heard of this event until Jim told me he just...

I had the opportunity to work with Jim for the past 3 years. He was always happy! Whenever I needed a hand, he was always there to lend his. Miss you Jim. Thoughts and prayers to all. Lisa Sunderland

I worked with Jim for many years, and I could go on forever about the good times we had, thousands of laughs, smiles, talks and just really good memories. He was one of the nicest people I have ever known. I remember the day his grand daughter Genevieve was born, he was so proud I thought he was going to fly.
