I'm sorry to hear about Mr. Hamner's passing. My sister and I had him at CVCC. He called us Ring 1 and Ring 2 we use to laugh about that. He was a great teacher and his class was a fun class. He will definitely be missed. My condolences to his family.

I was so very sorry to learn of Mr Hamner´s passing. I had him many years ago at CVCC as an English professor. Years later, when my son informed me that he had Mr Hamner, my words to him were, "You´re going to love that class!" Mr Hamner did not disappoint. My son and I had many talks of what a wonderful professor he was. Heaven´s gain is definitely a loss felt here. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
