With great sadness I said farewell to my Father-in-Law, Melvin Hammer last week. Although I talked to him frequently, I knew more about the kind of man he was by the kind of children he raised. To the last one, they are (Robert, Nancy, and Neil) and were(Arnie) kind, generous, dedicated and caring. I know the values he believed and instilled in them, of honor, loyalty and integrity because I saw them practiced every day by each one of them. Yes, Melvin had many wonderful accomplishments in his lifetime, but none as important as the loving family he left behind as his legacy. I love and miss you Dad....

Our family wants to offer our thoughts and prayers on your loss of Mel Hammer.

In 2013 I set up a trip on Honor Flight San Diego for my Father, Dick Boster. It just so happens that my Son's friend Ashley said that she had a co-worker from Home Depot on the same flight - Mel Hammer.

We were able to meet Mel, and as a matter of fact I have pictures of him on the Honor Flight trip. Although I did not know him well, it was obvious in our conversations over three days that Mel was a kind and gentle soul. It was an honor to accompany these two United States Veterans on their trip to Washington D.C.!
