To say I'm numb would be an understatement. Someone I used to babysit shouldn't be dead of a massive heart attack at the tender age of 44! It's beyond comprehension. My deepest condolences go to the family. Thanks to M & H for letting me 'borrow' Hammy's obit...and taking care of him before his journey home! Hammy...I'm so sorry I never made the time to meet you for that beer at the Kilt & Caber! Rest in peace
