Our family is deeply sorry and understand your pain. We did not have the privilege to know Dr. Hamman but we have the privilege to know her daughter Kelsey and her granddaughter Lilly and all the values shared by everyone during his service are the values Kelsey/daughter has shown. I know Dr. Hamman will be proud. We will continue praying. We are sending a virtual hug.

As were a great many of Dr. Hamman's student, I am extremely fortunate to have crossed paths with Dr. Hamman while a graduate student at Texas Tech University. He was a tremendous mentor, educator, scholar, and friend. His example of giving back to the community, coupled with a healthy sense of humor and scientific skepticism, are qualities that I have carried with me over my career. To Doug's family - I am very sorry for your loss and please accept my deepest condolences. I hope you take comfort in the legacy and tremendous positive impact that he has left on all of us. Sincerely, Kevin Gosselin
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Fanni and Hamman Family, I am sad about this. Doug is a great human being. I saw him a year ago at the Association for Teacher Educators conference. We greeted each other like long-lost brothers. This is consistent with all of my encounters with him. They ended with a laugh, a smile, a handshake, or a hug. I am so glad that his good work is finally acknowledged, even though it took its toll. He moved the college and the field forward the way he moved friendships forward. Not many can say that. Thanks Doug. You are loved, brother.

Our deepest sympathies to Fanni and the family. We will always remember Doug not only in his academic role but also as a host in his home where he served his famous chili. Gabriela our daughter will always remember him as a supporter of all her fundraising at her catholic school, the same school he graduated from in Lubbock. We will also remember him as a person who invited us to his home after we retired from Tech and moved to Arizona. Eva, Alfredo, and Gabriela

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my favorite teacher in The College of Education. At age 51 when I decided to return to Texas Tech to become a teacher, Dr. Hamman was the first encounter and the first class for me. He was always so supportive of me changing careers and going to school with people half my age. Several years later when I published my book, he contacted me to congratulate me and asked me to autograph a copy for him. He was a great man, a great teacher and a great mentor.

Doug was a mentor, a friend and a visionary. This is a tragic loss for the education community. His legacy will live on through the countless teacher educators he taught and transformed. Few can say they changed the way higher education approaches teacher preparation the way Doug did - you will be deeply missed.
