Charles Edward Hammond, 57, born in Mobile and a resident of Daphne, passed away Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2014.
He graduated from the University of Alabama … “Roll Tide Roll.”
He was the proud owner of C. Hammond Distributing, serving as an independent distributor for Flowers Baking Co. for more than 10 years.
He was a hardworking man, and a man of his word. He was raised on Fish River, and loved his boats, fishing and scuba-diving … all things related to the Gulf Coast.
He was a master at grilling on his Weber grill and making a shrimp boil, usually with a cold beer in hand.
He always loved his pet dogs, and even befriended a raccoon.
He was a man of few words with a heart full of love. Even when he was sick, he’d still say “Life is good.”
He is survived by his sisters, Nancy Hammond Dix and her husband, Steve, of Mobile, and Pamela Hammond and her partner, Karen Haas, of Greenville, N.C.
An informal memorial to celebrate Charlie will be held Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014 at Wolfe-Bayview Funeral Home in Daphne.
Visitation will be held from 1 until 3 p.m., with a brief service at 2.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to the Fish River-Marlow Fire and Rescue Department, 13355 County Road 32, Summerdale, AL 36580.
Arrangements by Wolfe-Bayview Funeral Home, Daphne.
