Robert Hammerman

Remembering the Judge. Lee Raskin, JD. Lancers Boys Club 1959-1963....City College Class of June '63.

It was a beautiful sunny day in 1970.I was 16 years old and there I sat surrounded by so many people I didn't know who were equally as excited as I was.The place was Memorial Stadium and it was Game 2 of the 1970 World Series between two of the greatest baseball teams of all time-Baltimore Orioles and Cincinnati Reds.The reason I was at that game and had that "Once in a Lifetime " experience was because of Bob Hammerman.To this day I don't know how Bob got me that ticket but I can truly say...

It was an honor to know the Judge. I am grateful for the support that he gave City College during my tenure as principal.

I joined the Lancers Boys Club as a high school sophomore in 1966, one of thousands of young men, and later women, who was privileged to have been mentored by this extraordinary man. Bob constantly reminded us that "to those whom much has been given, much is expected". I trace my career in public service directly to Bob's influence. Bob was a friend and teacher who will be missed dearly. May you be free from suffering and may you find the peace you so richly deserve.

As one of the founding members of the Lancers the second time around, which was formed around 1957 after Bob was practicing law in Baltimore, I was shocked and saddened to hear the news. He provided us, as impressionable teenagers, with much guidance on issues that were relevant to the times. Although I had no contact with him after graduating high school in 1962 and moving to Israel in 1972, the memories of those informative years between the ages of 13-18 are still very fresh in my mind.

We were very saddened to receive the news about the man we knew as "Judge Hammerman". We will miss him. Alain performed numerous times for the Lancers Club. We will always remember the club and Roberts devotion to it and the other causes he held dear. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Aunt Caroline,
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. Growing up Mom always spoke so highly of your brother and his accomplishments. Please know that our thoughts and our love are with you and the family eventhough we are far away. My love and condolences to Heidi, Joy, Sharon, Fred and their families.
Love, Hannah and Seth Vogelman and children.

I HAVE JUST HEARD OF YOUR GREAT LOSS AND WISH TO OFFER MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHY. SINCERELY, JOHN C. CLAUSS, JR.POST OFFICE BOX 2101 KINGSVILLE, TEXAS 78363
