Mr. Hammond was born on Jan. 28, 1928 in Albertville, AL. He was married to the late Nacelyn Hammond, and they had one child, the late Allen T. Hammond. He was the loving bread man of the Talladega community for over 35 years. He also served as a security guard at Talladega Super Speedway for many years. He loved farming and old tractors, as well as his cattle. Mr. Hammond was a veteran of the US Navy and served during WWII, and also served on the City Council of Talladega.
