My condolences go out to David's (Hammy) family. I enjoyed his posts on the forum, many injected with bits of humor which I appreciated as well. RIP David ....

Sorry to hear this. I'd seen this thread before but never clicked on it because he was the author, and TBH, I thought it was a joke thread.

Thanks to a thread by BROCKYJACK who mentioned his passing, I came here and realized then that it was all real.

A 77 year-old buddy of mine has been in the hospital with multiple issues since November 20. I do not expect him to get out alive.

Sometimes it really sucks being on this end of life.

My memory of Hammy was that I was in a heated arguement with a very assholish troll. Although hammy was a newb at the time, he jumped in and called a troll a troll. I never forgot that. He was

Thank you so much for getting back to us. May God bless all of you and bring you comfort in this time of loss.

David and I went to battle together against a few! We had a couple of good throwdowns on the old price of GS vettes! Anyway, got to head back to the bar. The basers are getting a little restless.

And YOU are not an argumentative kind of guy, Mike! But still, well said!!!

Also, I could not agree more about thanks for the update posts on Hammy's passing by the family. I'm also glad this thread was read by his wife. Our thoughts are with all the family and friends.

Thank you for letting us know, I am still in shock. The forum will not be the same without him!
And I was just telling him how lucky he was...I am at a loss for words! My condolences and prayers go out to you and your family. He will be missed by all.

I hope the family is still reading this thread. I really appreciate the additional information.

I had a few good-natured arguments with him, but of course we kept it civilized. Like a lot of us, he had strong opinions sometimes.

Can anyone please give us a link to, or a copy of, the obituary for David. I think those who know him would appreciate seeing it. I know I would. I looked online, but wasn't able to find anything.
Thank you!
