    I am sorry for your loss. Mr. Hammer was a neighbor of mine in Spencerport. I remember him building the tree fort, putting up the pool, and building the room between their kitchen and garage. Loves his family and rugby. My thoughts and prayers to Mrs. Hammer, Brian and family, Bill and family, and all who love him. You guys have always been missed in Spencerport take care
    Love, Jean (Crawford) Craddock

    We will miss his storie & humor. He was one tough guy these last years. It was a pleasure to have him in the Toolroom golf league.

    An original Colonial rugger and an original in countless other ways as well. Farewell Louie. Save some seats near you, Dickie, and Denny for the rest of us. We’ll all eventually get there after the final whistle and then, regardless of the score, we’ll win the party. Please hold off on the Zulu Warrior until I arrive. Condolences to Chris, Billy and Brian. Thank you for sharing Louie with the rest of us. He was — and will always be — a great teammate and a great friend.
