HARRY G. HAMMERS

Mr. Harry G. Hammers, 70, of Quincy, died Monday (June 14, 2004) in Blessing Hospital, following a long and courageous battle with heart disease and diabetes. Born October 14, 1933 in Collinsville, Illinois, Mr. Hammers was the son of Harry G. and Ruth Hartman Hammers. Mr. Hammers served his country four years in the U. S. Navy aboard air craft carriers during the Korean War. Harry was a lifelong Cubs fan and devoted to his family, taking an active role in his grandsons lives. He was a proud grandfather and to quote him, "they are the apple of my eye." Harry was employed at Quincy Compressor for over 25 years and then as a security guard for the Quincy Mall for 8 years. He retired in 1996 due to ill health. Survivors include one daugher and son in law, Cindy and Dennis Guthrie; two grandsons, Zach and Luke Guthrie all of Quincy; and one sister. Mr. Hammers was preceded in death by his parents; one sister; and two brothers. At the request of Mr. Hammers, cremation rites will be accorded with private family graveside services. To honor the memory of the love and support Mr. Hammers showed his grandsons with their golf activities, memorials may be made to Westview Golf Course or the Westview Junior Scholarship Fund in care of Zehender Robinson Stormer Cookson Funeral Home, 1435 State St., Quincy, IL.
