RETIRED NAVAL Lieutenant Commander Grant Hammer has been honored at the Maleny RSL with a commemorative service before family, friends and naval colleagues. Grant passed away recently at the age of 69.
Speakers at the service spoke of Grant’s compassion, loyalty, and mischievous sense of humour. He had joined the navy at 14 and served on ships and at shore postings around the world including the UK, Vietnam and Washington DC. He was regarded as a fine officer and a gentleman.
After retirement Grant and his wife Robbie settled in Maleny but continued their interest in sailing – circumnavigating Australia and reaching New Zealand in their beloved catamaran.
Grant was also a great supporter to young people through naval cadets and TS Centaur. He could be a tough mentor but also a loyal friend and confidant. He threw himself into Range community activities and showed himself to be a strong team player.
Grant leaves his wife Robbie and three children, Dixon, Elizabeth and Sara.
