Please accept my deepest sympathies. I worked with Hammer in the old jail and he made me laugh every single day. May fond memories of him give you some sense of comfort.

Some of my most fond memories while on the SBPD were shared with Jim. He had a heart as big as one could have. As I tell stories of my times there many include Jim. My relationship with him led to meeting the Hammer Family over the years and you are all fine people and my heartfelt condolences go out to you in this time of grieving. I thank you for allowing me to join in on all of the festivities at ND games. I will always remember Jim
