CANFIELD - A memorial service will be held Friday at 10 a.m. at St. Maron's Church, Youngstown for Mr. James "Jim" Hammond, 61, who entered eternal peace on Tuesday afternoon at the Hospice House after a long battle with cancer.
He was born July 28, 1949, in Pennsylvania, a son of Stephen and Margaret Gutwald Hammond.
