To the Family of Andy Hammack, I just wanted to pass along my condolences to you in your time of loss. I worked with Andy many years ago when he ran his construction business. I was pretty young at the time and I remember Andy very well as an energetic person with a great personality and can-do attitude. He and I got to work together on some projects in West Virginia. I lost my dad a couple of months ago and I know what it's like to lose a father (husband and grandfather). Please accept my sympathies. Regards, Roger Williams Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
