Don HAMMOND Obituary

Condolences to Joy and all the family. He was a nz cousin of mine whom my sister found when researching our family history. Don was such a lovely person who had a very interesting life. RIP Don.

I first met Don when he became my coach at Te Atatu Rugby League. We got on well and became good friends long after football.
Our families shared some good times together and Don became a lifelong friend.
You will never be forgotten Don. Rest well dear friend.
Colin and Maureen Nicholls and family.

Dear Scott & Dene, just heard about your Dad. He was a great man and a Rugby League Legend. When I was 16 my Dad arranged for me and Peter Dunn to have an hour´s tackling practice with Donny at Neil Ave, Te Atatu - never been hit by anything harder in my life. He was a Te Atatu Roosters Legend too. All the best guys - your Dad was top drawer. Gib (Jr)

My condolences to Joy and Don's family. R.I.P. Don, a life well lived, a great sportsman, airline engineer and devoted Clansman. Fond memories of times at Clan Gatherings both here and on at Dunvegan, Isle of Skye.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Joy and all the family at this very sad time. You'll be in my prayers as you come to terms with your loss.

RIP Legend.
