So sorry for your loss. I first met Cliff when he brought Kim to my house for a sleepover in elementary school. Our dads were frat brothers.

Our deepest condolences. We had the honor of receiving a visit here in Trondheim and Åsen, a visit we will remember with gratitude❤️

So sorry to hear about Papa’s passing. I’ll always remember him being the grandpa who could still play basketball and how impressed we all were by him. I have so many great memories of him being around when we were kids. Thinking of you all and sending lots of love.

We McKinley kids from San Antonio have lots of fond memories of Uncle Cliff, Aunt Jeannine, and our Ohio cousins who came down to visit us in the summertime. Uncle Cliff was alwa a laid back gentleman who always had a joke to tell.
He will be remembered fondly, and with love.

I am so sorry for your loss! I always liked & admire Cliff!! He had a great life!!🙏🏾💜👍🏾

LOVED my Uncle Whitey, Aunt NEENERS, and the entire BEREA BUNCH.  I have very fond memories with my Hammeren cousins.

sending you all prayers.  And love.  Wish I could give you a huge hug.

Sending  deepest sympathy to our dear Hammeren family.   Blessings to all of you and lovely memories of your “Papa”. Wishing we could be there to celebrate his life with you!   You will be in my heart. ❤️

I'll miss our back and forth, Cliff. You were fun to spar with over the years.  Sleep peacefully and never forget you're loved by many.

My lovely Hammerens, 

I am so sorry for your loss and that I cannot make Papa’s services next week. I am sending you all so much love and am remembering Papa Hammeren so fondly. A sports star, a generous grandfather (to friends, too) and a lover of the arts - he was such a cherished part of so many’s lives. I’m happy to have known him and spent time with him. I know so much of his spirit is alive in the rest of you!

I’m so sorry for your loss.  Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.  It  has been a pleasure having Cliff as my neighbor and friend! He will surely be missed by all of us on the street !!
