Butch is my Dad’s (Lee Roy Hammond) first cousin. Daddy was older than Butch, and Dad passed away in 2008.
I have fond memories of Butch when we all use to attend the Hammond family reunions, especially the ones when I was little and we would go to Aunt Margaret and Uncle Irvin’s house.
Butch was so giving, and shared much of the family history with me that I would otherwise never have known … photos, memories, and our family tree that he created electronically.
Recently, Butch shared a photo with me of him wearing Daddy’s Navy uniform that Aunt Margaret had resized for him, because he wanted to be like Daddy he told me! And a picture of my Dad. ❤️
Hugs and prayers for his sweet family. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
