Well.......It has been over four years since you moved to Heaven, I still miss you like it was yesterday.  When you left, you took half my heart and it still hurts.  I know where you are and I know I will see you again one of these days.  I look forward to that day!  I'm trying to take care of me and keep this wonderful home and acreage going.  IT'S NOT EASY, YA KNOW!!!  LOL  Had to have the trees cut that you built the porch around a few years ago, re-did the roof to fill in the holes.  You said you would enlarge the holes as the trees grew, but, you were no where around when that time came!!!  LOL  The kids are taking good care of me.  Tracy is always here to do whatever I need.....I just have to remind him!!!  LOL  Kim works her tail off every time she comes to visit.  Of course, she always did.  LOL  Angie has her hands full with two teenage boys!!!  Good and bad.  LOL  She is a lot of company, we laugh a lot, and she helps with anything she can.  I've gotten rid of a lot of things around here, I hated to do it, but, I just couldn't take care of everything.  I will never leave here.  You created all this for me and I love everything around here.  I look around and see you everywhere.  I smile.  I miss you so much sometime, it hurts.  Remembering all our plans for our old age.  Sitting in our rockers and looking at pictures!!!  Who am I kidding.....YOU would never do that!!!  LOL  It was MY plan!!!  LOL  You would have always been piddling with something.  That was who you were and I loved that about you.  I hated that about you at the same time!!!  I wanted us to be so close and do everything together, and sight see and do all kinds of things together.  It was that "dream man" I was going to do all that with, I guess. LOL   Well....I will write more to you later!!!  Just had you heavy on my mind and thought I would let you know how much I still love you and by the way.....Your prediction that if anything ever happened to you, I would be married within six months......well, YOU were soooooo wrong!!!  Told ya so!!!  LOL

I can't believe we've made it a year without you here. Although we can't see you, I know that you are with us each and every day...guiding us the way you always have. You hold a piece of our hearts, and we will miss you dearly until our joyous reunion!!   Love you forever, Daddy.

I can't believe it's been almost a year already. You have been missed every day. I take great comfort in knowing that one day I will hear your voice & see that beautiful smile again. I fully expect both of my dad's to be there to greet me when I get there. 
Love you soo much, XOXOXXOXOXOXOXO

I'm do deeply sorry to hear about Jerry. God bless you!  Love,

May God bless you and your family. We will be praying for you.

Dear Beverly, I love you. God is your comforter. Love you.

I was so sorry to hear of your husbands passing. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

One of favorite memories of PaPa is one night a few years ago when the family was in the hot tub. PaPa was not one who enjoyed swimming, so we never expected when he came running around the corner and did a canon ball right in the middle of the hot tub!  We had such a good time wrestling and trying to dunk each other!  I'm going to miss you PaPa.

Wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you at this sad time. Love you all.

Jerry was a wonderful man. You will never know how much he impacted my life. I truly do think of you as my second parents. Love you always.

Dear Beverly, I know you miss Jerry and your mother, they were both loving people. We love you, and you will be in our prayers.

Jerry we have been family for over 47 years. There will always be a hole in our family. The tears will eventually stop but we will never loving you.  You will be in our hearts for ever.  Our lives have been changed forever. Keep Lanny in line and we will see you both again in God's time.

Love you so much,

One of my favorite stories about Jerry is associated with Kimberly & Jim's wedding.  A few days before the wedding Jerry nicked himself shaving.  Kimberly got onto his case telling him he had to be more careful.  The wedding, she said, is in just a few days.  You can't have your face all cut up for the wedding!  

The morning of the wedding comes.  A number of us are gathering for breakfast with Kimberly & Jim when Jerry arrives to join in on the breakfast.  He had band-aids in several places on his face, making it look as though he had multiple nicks, which of course he didn't have.  The look of shock on Kimberly's face was great, and Jerry's delight in shocking her was even better.  I don't think I will ever forget this!

I hope your memories bring a smile to your face, and warmth to your heart.

Much love,

Having Jerry Hammett as a friend was like winning Ohio lottery jackpot if there was a choice I would pick Jerry every time i am blessed to sayl know the good book better because of this man especially job  if we were stuck on Mars with no hope jerry would get us back "safe" all of my prayers go out to the family lets all celebrate jerrys life as he was known around the world knowing we will see him in those boots again

I will always be there for you. Don't hesitate to call me anytime. I love you. God bless you.

My deepest sympathy Bev, Tracy,Kim, Angie and grandkids.  I know that words could not possibly ease your pain with such a great loss. The love and memories will be carried with you always. I have always been so thankful to have the entire Hammetts as part of our lives.A friendship so close and dear that we are considered family. In my time spent with Jerry I always admired the love he had for Beverly,his children, grandchildren and his many  friends. Yes Jerry may have been a man of few words, but he was a genuine friend that always listened and he truly cared. One always knew he would be there to lend a hand whenever or on anything that was needed.  I will be forever greatful to what he and Beverly have meant to me and my children.  I will miss our "Great Cowboy" as I know now he is now in his eternal resting place pain free.  Until we meet again my dearest friend. With much love, Mary,RJ and Lauren

Jerry was such a dear sweet man, always wanting to help others. Larry and I are so glad we got to know him and his memory will be forever with us. I keep thinking how whenever someone needed shelves put up in the church I would ask "Have you asked Jerry Hammett?" That's how we will remember him - "A quiet, humble servant of the Lord"

To Beverly and your family, You have my deepest sympathies. From observing Jerry, I know he was a man of honor and integrity.  My heart was so blessed the day he surprised you with  the renewing of your wedding vows. It was so obvious how much he loved you and what an amazing husband he was. After listening to his children, I know he was a wonderful father to them. I will miss all of his hugs and I am so thankful to have known Jerry. We will see him again.. Love & Prayers.

Crazy how 20 days can seem like 20 years! I miss you bunches!! Love to all!

Ray & I were so sad to hear that Jerry had died. He was a kind and good man. Please accept our sympathy to you and your family. We will keep you all in our prayers. We will always remember the good times spent with both of you when we visited Ann & Earl. And, of course, we cannot forget how C.J. would beg for treats!  We love you.

I just wanted you to know that I know how heartbroken you Are right now And wish I could say you will wake up in a few days and be better, but being a Daddy's girl like you I still have lots of tears even after 3 years.  Good thing is, most are happy tears of his memory.  But like you, I wish he were here to share those. Hugs to you and your mom.

Marjie & I, we only found out today, and are so sorry to read your sad news about Jerry passing. We are in tears as we write this. So many memories of him teaching Nigel to square dance in Saudi Arabia. He was the best square dancer I ever met...to be able to convert an English man with two left feet to square dance!  What a memory & seeing Beverly & Jerry with the swan neck trailer when they came through California to see us. And of course, Marjie has great memories of her time in Cut & Shoot, when she came to Texas in 2004. She still talks about Jerry's wonderful cooking!!!  He will always be with us in the rest of our journeys through life. 

You both will be in our prayers, Bev. You have Jerry's strength & love to keep living on, this will honor his passing.

Jerry was one of the "good guys". He was like my second dad growing up. When my dad had to go out of town I would stay with the Hammetts and I always felt like I was part of the family, not just a guest. I'll never forget the love and strength Jerry had for us. He scolded me like I was his own and taught me like I was his own and loved me like I was his own. As an adult, I didn't spend enough time with him, but when I did, there was no difference in the way he treated me. Just like no time had passed since the last visit. I will always love you Jerry and you will forever live in my heart.

Jerry was one of the nicest, hardest working men I've ever met.  I'll never forget how he called me when I was out of state when my mother had died to wish me well.  He even called me on my birthday when he was in the hospital earlier this year, barely able to breathe, and weak as heck, just to make sure he didn't miss the opportunity to wish me a happy birthday.  That was one of the most unselfish acts I've ever experienced....  I will never forget this man.  Ever.

Jerry was a great help to me at Jacobs in his capacity as the HSE manager for my project.  He will be missed.

Jerry and Bev had a great time with all of us in downtown Colorado Springs.  Jim, Kim and the kids love to do the West Coast Swing.

I first met Jerry at Kim's wedding, and I was struck by how calm and strong and loving he looked.  The more pictures I see of him, the more I realize that's just him.  He has this gentle, knowing presence, like he knows the secret and he's delightfully watching until you discover it, too. Things will never be the same, but the other parts of life will become bigger again and the love and warm memories will become bigger than the loss of him.  I am so sorry he left too soon, and may God hold you a little tighter for a while... Your friends are sending you lots of love...

I am so sorry for your loss. May God's love be with you and your family.

Jerry Hammett, where do I start. First there are no words (or not in this old country boys vocabulary) to describe the love, respect and admiration I have in my heart for him. I met Jerry the first week of June, 1993 and neither of us could have possibly conceived the future and relationship we would have together. We were on five projects together and that is unheard of in our business. I remember when Jerry was pulling out of the trailer park to go back to Texas on our last project together he said "well Wyman we had a good run". Thankfully that only turned out to be our professional relationship as we have remained best of friends forever as Karen and I both have with him and Beverly. As all of you Karen and I hurt deeply and heart broken over his physical loss he will remain in our hearts and on our minds always. I guess it was Garth Brooks that said it best in one of his songs, "if I had missed the hurt I would have missed The Dance and I would have not wanted to never know Jerry. I will always remember his favorite reply on his best or worst day when you asked him how he was doing, "Just Peachy" and I am sure that would be his answer today.
We Love You Beverly and Family,
We Love Him Dearly.
Karen and Wyman

There are no words that will actually bring comfort right now.  But, as time passes slowly, may the thoughts of loved ones come back to your mind and bring you a touch of light.  As for me, my husband put it best when he told me how blessed we were to have my dad b/c few people have had anyone so amazing in their lives, much less someone like him who loved us.  Though they'd met a couple of times, Doug didn't enjoy the double blessing of having two such amazing men in his life.  Beverly, Tracy, Kim, & Angie...we did, and we are all better for knowing them. Our pain is real b/c we want them here with us, but to pull them back from the All Mighty would be cruel, and even if God offered us the chance, we wouldn't do that to someone we love so much.  So, we  live in Christ as we wait to be held in their arms at the gates of Heaven. I love you MUCH and pray for you to feel peace beyond human understanding.  
The world is truly a less happy place without you, Jerry.  I will miss you being only a phone call away & the comfort of knowing you would always be here for me whatever the need. You and Beverly were the 2nd phone call when I found out I was pregnant with Conner, of course, Mom & Dad #2, who else would I call?  I miss you, so much

Oh sweet lady. My heart hurts for you all. A hole has just been punched in your heart that never gets filled. I am praying for you and your family.

Love...always...forever. I'll always remember the most lovely words your father shared with all of us at your wedding.

Very cool guy. Glad I met him. Love to you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. When you think of him, and everything that made him the man he was, his memory lives on through you. I know he was important to each of you and you will miss him very much. I also believe that the bond you each shared will keep you close every time you remember him. 

I lost my daddy almost 2 years ago and I was shattered. A few weeks later it occurred to me how lucky I was to have loved my daddy so much, and always had known without a doubt that he loved me. Some people never know their dads, and some wish they didn't. As much as it hurts to lose them, we are so blessed to have had such good daddys. I still think of my dad several times a day, but now it's a comfort and usually with a chuckle or smile. It takes a while, but it gets easier. My sincerest sympathies.

Growing up next door I used to always enjoy spending time with Jerry in the garage wile he rebuilt cars & Motorcycles. Watching him use his hands to build airplanes and he always answered my silly questions. Growing up next door to Jerry was a true blessing. May God Speed

He was certainly a strong individual and will be missed by all.  I knew him from our work together for 10 years at Jacobs Engineering in Safety.  He always got the hardest jobs and was able to always make the difference that made the projects successful.  He was honest in his dealings with his fellow man and you could always count on him no matter how hard things became.  We know his family will miss him dearly and wish we could have had him here just a little longer but know that he is with family still and his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Keith J. Miller Cypress, TX

My heart is breaking for all of you. I know what you are going through. I, along with lots of other friends and family will miss Jerry so much. My prayers are with you all.

You were like a dad to me. You will forever live in my heart. I am so sad to see you go. My thoughts and prayers are with the Hammett family.
