Jacci and family, my deepest sympathies on your loss. Alan was a one of a kind and was one of the good guys! He always made life at work enjoyable and showed me early on how important a work life balance was by demonstrating his commitment to his family.
Ashley, my family is praying for you and your family. We love you girl! And we are sending hugs your way.
My sincere condolences to the entire Hammaker family. I did not personally know Alan, but I am close friends with his Brother Hal, Hal’s wife Amy and their beautiful daughters. My heartfelt sympathies for you and sending many prayers at this time of loss.
To Alan’s family: I am so very sorry and saddened to have just learned – quite belatedly – of Alan’s passing. He was one of 3 (at the time they lived in an apartment in our home) little brothers that I was so lucky to have. Time, distance, and the loss of his mom unfortunately let us drift apart. Please know that my thoughts and sympathies are with each and every one of you.
Jacci, Pat and I were not aware of Alan’s health problems passing condolences seems to be so little to say at this time just be aware you and Alan are in our thoughts today.
Jacci: my deepest sympathy to you and your family on your loss. Always remember he will be in your hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you. Alan was a good person with a good heart.

We made each other laugh out loud. He was a good guy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will be missed by all who knew him.
My sincere condolences to the Hammaker Family. I worked with Alan for a time at State Farm. He was a delight and pleasure to work with. I use to tell him he had a “radio” voice. We shared a few laughs as he’d talk about the good time spent with his grand children. He will be greatly missed at the Farm.
With deepest sympathy from the Central Dauphin High School Alumni Association.
Kenny and I were so sorry to hear about Alan. We just found out so we are so sorry this is so late. Our sincere condolences go out to you Jacci and your entire family. I know he has been sick for a while and pray you have peace knowing he’s in Gods hands now.
