Dear Friends and Family, We are creating this GoFundMe in loving memory of Gary Hammond. A beloved father, grandfather, brother, Uncle, and friend, who touched countless lives. A proud graduate of English High School's class of '75, Gary was a talented basketball player. His passion for the sport led him to become a respected referee, supporting numerous teams and leagues throughout the years. Gary's heart was immense; he had a smile that could light up any room and always went above and beyond to help others. He was a true legend in his own right. Gary deeply appreciated everyone who stood by him, through thick and thin. His sudden passing has left many heartbroken and in shock. To make this a memorable tribute for Gary, we are kindly asking for any donations to help us give him a beautiful celebration of life. Anything you are able to give will be deeply appreciated.
