I am so sorry for your loss. I remember being in grade school with Debbie and spending the night at their home. Even at that age I knew he was a kind loving man. May your memories keep him

When I was in little league Mr. Hamsher was always active in sponsoring teams in our leagues. He always went above and beyond, often coming to a few games and really being a great influence to the kids. He will be missed!
