Cecil “Will” Hammack, 91, died Friday, February 17, 2023 in Greenwood, Indiana after a short illness.

He was a native of Wet Branch, West Virginia. He retired from the U.S. Army in November 1974 with 22 years of service. After which he proceeded to work Civil Service for an additional 20+ years, as a Heavy-Duty Mobile Mechanic/Inspector.

In his downtime he loved to golf, bowl, fish and play cards. Cecil did not know a stranger. He would open his door to anyone. He loved his church and had great love for the gospel.
