In Memory of

Stuart Hammer 

I am sorry to have to tell you that Stuart passed away this morning [September 13, 2021] after a courageous struggle with cancer. Stuart was always an enthusiastic supporter of Buxton and ABS. He was very generous with plants and with his time and was an eager participant in Buxton activities. Our December party was always held at his home where he always encouraged attendees to help themselves to cuttings of pretty much anything in his greenhouse. He also assisted ABS with legal matters and with their investments. Stuart will be greatly missed.

There will be a service for him this Friday. We will commemorate both Wanda Macnair and Stuart at our show this Saturday. 

Mike Mack
President, Buxton Begonia Branch of ABS


Memorial Service for Stuart Hammer 
A Memorial Service was held, and the family welcomes donations to Rachel’s Table (http://www.rachelstable.org/) as an expression of sympathy instead of flowers.
