Death of Tony Hammer

We are saddened to learn of the recent death of John David (Tony) Hammer. He was 83 years old and had celebrated 56 years of marriage to Natalie (Pyle) Hammer. He is survived by his wife; his children Vickie, Jan and David; and his granddaughter Catherine.

Tony entered Ambassador College in 1956 after serving four years in the U.S. Air Force. During his college years he married Natalie, who became his life-long, trusted mate. Following graduation in 1960, the Hammers were sent to work in WCG’s new Australian office and to plant a church in Melbourne. Upon returning to the U.S., they served congregations in South Texas, then in the San Francisco Bay area. Following that, they served as a church pastor and Area Coordinator in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1980 they moved to Dallas where they entered business ventures where they worked until retiring in Frisco, Texas.

  3. Dear Hammer family,

    Sorry to hear of Tony’s passing. I have so many wonderful memories of your family from my East Texas days and growing up around that area. I knew so many of your family through the years including the elder Roy Hammer, his son Buck and others. Love and best prayers to you all.
