It was with great sadness and gratitude that Floyd Diemoz shared the news of the death of Jerry Hammar. Jerry died peacefully at his home in Glenwood Springs on January 19th at the age of 87. He was a founding member of the Glenwood Springs Rotary Club in 1964 and remained active in the club for over 60 years.
Jerry was not only a cornerstone of our Rotary club from its very beginning, but also a person whose integrity, generosity, and commitment to service left a lasting mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him. His dedication to Rotary’s values and to the community we serve helped shape both the spirit and the foundation of our club.
Beyond his many contributions, Jerry will be remembered for his kindness, steady presence, and genuine care for others. His absence will be felt deeply by our Rotary family.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jerry’s family and loved ones during this difficult time. May they find comfort in knowing how greatly he was respected and how enduring his impact will be.
There will not be a service. Please send condolences directly to Dena Hammar at: 1245 County Road 129, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601.
Thank you, Michelle Lefebvre, for this loving tribute.
