Not sure what to say?

Jerry Hammond worked hard for the people of Columbus, and Columbus is the better for it. He was a legend in Black and a true warrior.

I would always as a child and as an adult admire Mr. Hammond. My father enjoyed when Mr. Hammond would come to hear him play some nights at one of the Jazz Clubs and then outdoor events

Gone, but not forgotten.

We were so very saddened to learn of your tremendous loss. Jerry will be greatly missed.....We are thinking of you.......Fondly, Joyce & Chuck Shenk

Dear Hammond Family,

Please accept my sincere condolence in the lost of your loved one. I had the opportunity of meeting Mr. Hammond at a Fund Raiser many years ago. Please cherish the memories and find comfort in these memories.

God bless you and your family.

I can remember as a "preteen" of meeting the Hammond family. The very first opportunity I had back then was to babysit for Gerry. Throughout the years I learned so much about being involved in community events at such a very young age because of Jerry. I am so thankful for that today as I am still carrying out a part of his legacy.

My prayers goes out to the family and may God bless each of you.

Dear Hammond Family,

Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of your loved one. I looked up to Jerry when I was a child. He did so much to promote the welfare of minorities and other underrepresented populations. He was truly a role model and a blessing to many. Please cherish the time that you had with him and continue to find comfort in the memories you made over the years. May God bless and keep you all in His care.
