Not sure what to say?

I was privileged to have worked with Father Hammer, during my time at St. Vincent's Medical Center. He was a fine man and a good friend.
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

We helped Fr .Hammer at Montefiore for Sunday Mass . I also worked on his VW and Model A Ford ... A trusted friend and a Gift from Our Lord Jesus

We were so sorry to hear of Father Jeff's passing. We enjoyed hearing about his collection of Civil War memorbilia while we visited with him when he came to our home in Iowa. We are praying for Father Jeff and his family and friends especially his good friend and our Aunt--Sr. Rita Arthur.
May the peace of God comfort you during this difficult time.

I was honored to get to know Jeff when I lived in Albany, NY. I enjoyed visiting him and my aunt in Pine Bush. I regret that I have have not made it back to the East Coast for a few years to have spent a bit more time enjoying time spent with him. He was a gem!!

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
