His parents, Gertrude (Hill) and Earl F. Hammond, Sr., welcomed their son into the world on February 12, 1951 in New London, CT. Earl grew up in Winchester, NH and was a graduate of Thayer High School in Winchester.
Earl was a hard worker and known as a "jack-of-all-trades", always willing to tackle any project or "tinker" with anything. He enjoyed hunting and fishing.
He is survived by his son, Stephen Hammond and his wife, Nichole, of Winchester; his grandchildren, Russell Gilbert, Kaylee Hammond, Caiden Hammond; a great-grandson, Colt Reagan Gilbert: several children that considered him as their grandfather; his brothers, Romie Hammond of Keene, James Hooper of Florida, Dave Hooper of Winchester; a sister, Gloria Marrotte of Ridge, NH; and several nieces and nephews. A brother, Mike Hammond and a sister, Elaine Ross, predeceased him.
Graveside services in the Evergreen Cemetery, Winchester, will be private.
