IQUITOS, Peru – Drs. Larry and Christy Hammer, partners in life and marriage, passed away together in their sleep of smoke inhalation, on April 10, while vacationing on a tour boat on the Amazon River near Iquitos, Peru. They will forever be remembered by those lucky enough to have known them for their love, kindness, humor, friendship and generosity.
