Fishers, IN 46038-2318, umfindiana.org. Condolences: randallroberts.com Jay worked for many years with Stahl Brothers Lumber Company before hiring on with Biddle Screw Products in Sheridan. He worked with the heat treating and metal tempering machines for 32 years before taking his retirement. You would be hard pressed to find many people who loved puttering around their property as much as Jay did. Messing around in the garden could keep him busy for hours. He grew peanuts, cotton and just about anything else you could imagine; if he could get the seeds or the starts, he’d give it a try. Jay was also very, VERY meticulous about the yard. He loved mowing his own yard and was able to do so until August of 2019. At that point everything changed. The kids took over the mowing responsibilities, and shortly thereafter the first unsightly weeds were discovered, documented, and made known by management. Although the exact conversation is unknown, the situation was quickly rectified. Jay also had a passion for photography. He loved taking photos, and as the technology advanced, he embraced it and fell in love all over again. The digital age allowed him the opportunities to convert his older photos and movie reels to newer formats so he could share them with family and friends more easily. Jay also loved to listen to Big Band and Swing music; Guy Lombardo was his favorite band leader. Jay was a loving husband and father, but grandpa was the role he was built for. He loved following all of their activities. He was a loyal Blackhawk fan and enjoyed follow- ing Andy’s games. Jay is survived by his daughter, Rebecca Aldred (Michael), Sheridan; three sons, Jeffrey Hammack, Indianapolis, Roger Hammack, Sheridan, and Chris Hammack, In- dianapolis; four grandchildren, Andrew Aldred (Amy), Angola, Diana Aldred-Griffin (Matthew), Westfield, Heather Hammack-Cochenour (Jesse), Columbus, and Ryne Ham- mack, Indianapolis; two great-grandchildren, Ellie and Quinn Aldred, both of Angola; and by his brother, David Hammack (Carole), Brownsburg. He was preceded in death by his parents; two infant siblings, Wilma Jean Hammack 1621 E. Greyhound Pass and Edwin Gene Hammack; and by his loving wife, Dorothy M. (Irick) Hammack on November 17, 2018. She and Jay were married in 1947.
