March 24, 2013CAPE ELIZABETH -- William E. Hammond, 86, died on March 16, 2013.
Most people seek to be happy. Bill sought to be purposeful, useful, responsible, compassionate, to stand for something and to make a difference. In doing so, he not only made himself happy but uplifted those around him as well.
Bill was born in Wellington, New Zealand to Avery and Bernice (Eaton) Hammond on Oct. 11, 1926.
In 1930 his family moved back to Bangor where he grew up, attended Bangor schools and after graduation served in the Navy during WWII.
In 1943 he met and in 1948, married the love of his life Florence Gunn. Bill's early careers were with New England Telephone then Libby Foods. In 1959 Bill and Grenville Jordan started a building and development company named Jordan & Hammond. Ken Rowell later joined to replace Gren. The company created five major subdivisions in Cape Elizabeth, Portland and Scarborough. The last one was Olde Millbrook. It was way ahead of its time with over 100 acres of commonly owned green space, community pools, tennis courts, ball field, playground and a stable. Bill didn't just build houses, he created a community.
In 1968 Bill started American Realty and soon affiliated with ERA Real Estate. In 1970 he bought the ERA master franchise for the state of Maine and in doing so brought real estate franchising to the area. By 1985 ERA was the largest real estate organization in the state completing one out of every four residential transactions. ERA of Maine was the most successful real estate franchise in the state and among the top for ERA in world. Bill served as a director of the Greater Portland Chamber of Commerce, was a Trustee of Cumberland County Civic Center, served on the building committee of the Cape Elizabeth Methodist Church and was a very dedicated supporter of the Good Will-Hinckley Home. Throughout his life Bill enjoyed automobile collecting, boating with his family, travel with his wife Flo and their friends, a little golf, and perhaps most of all, entertaining others with his stories and jokes. Bill and Flo retired in 1988, dividing time between their two favorite states, Maine and Florida.
Bill was predeceased by his parents; and his sister, Helen Ludden.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Florence; his son Steve (Martha) and their children, Kim, Nicole (Michael) Morneault and Avery, and his son, Brad (Tracy) and their children, Nicholas, Danielle, Dustin and John.
Bangor Daily News
January 1, 2022N. Ft. Myers, FL - Florence Hammond passed away peacefully on Dec. 13, 2021, after a slow and steady decline in health. Flo was asked a few years ago how she wanted to be remembered. The reply, "She was a nice person." That perfectly reflects how simply Flo looked at life and how unassuming she was. Always stylishly well dressed and attractive, with a warm smile and positive attitude but humble, gracious, and modest, she was well aware of how fortunate she was. Much of that stems from how she grew up and how the blessings in her life far surpassed any expectations or dreams she had early in life.
She was born 94 years ago on April 25, 1927, in Bangor, Maine, the 4th and youngest child of Isabella Reid Gunn and Bradford Gunn. Her father died in 1928 and Flo was always very proud of how her petite Scottish immigrant mother with an 8th grade education was able to keep the family warm and fed in a solid home by cooking and cleaning for other families in Depression-era Bangor, while being a kind and caring mother to Flo and her 3 siblings. Despite growing up poor during the Depression, many of her most lasting and fondest memories were from her youth, having fun with her sister, Jane. The two of them sledding down a closed off Cedar Street and skating above the dam on Kenduskeag Stream in the winter, and picking strawberries for spending money in the summer were among her favorite memories. Florence grew to be a very good student and a natural beauty, although she always joked that she wanted curly hair like her siblings but, "My mother must have run out of curls by the time I was born."
On the first day of her junior year at Bangor High a boy that Flo described to her friend as "tall and handsome" sat behind her in Economics class. Throughout the class the young man behind her kept pestering her trying to get acquainted prompting the teacher, Miss Welch, to say "Bill Hammond you leave Florence alone!" and moving his seat to the back of the class. Little did Miss Welch realize that Bill would continue to bother Flo for the next 70 years. They dated in high school, then Bill enlisted in the Navy to join the WWII war effort. After graduation Flo was enrolled to go to college but was offered a good job in the finance department at Bangor City Hall. Always practical, Florence opted to skip college because, "Why pay to go to college just to get a job like the one I've already been offered?" Even better jobs followed with dentist Dr. George Gunn and then Bangor Hydro.
When Bill returned home from the Navy in 1946, their romance was rekindled and Bill proposed. In spite of being in love, the ever-practical Florence refused because Bill had yet to find post-war work. He got a job with the phone company and in 1948 they were married.
Son, Stephen, was born a year later and Bill discovered his natural sales ability, first selling Fuller Brushes door to door and then as a salesman for Libby's canned foods. Career success led to a transfer to Portland where son, Brad, was born in 1953, and then a home in Cape Elizabeth, the town in which they lived for most of the next 40 years. Flo loved raising the boys and helping Bill as he started a new career as a home builder with his company Jordan and Hammond. The new company flourished and Flo enjoyed life as a loving and fun stay at home mother while also enduring many relocations within the community as Bill often sold the house the family was living in to insistent buyers. Bill and Flo were a great couple, each offering different strengths that created a perfect synergy and a shared appreciation for all the blessings that life and hard work had provided them.
When the boys grew up and left for college Flo restarted her career, first in retail sales and then joining Bill's company as a sales associate in their American Realty business. At the same time, they began to enjoy traveling more, visiting locations all over the world. Two favorite trips were a tour of the Greek Isles with a group of good friends and a 6-week RV trip to Alaska with lifelong friends Chuck and June Sanford. Flo and Bill also started spending more winter time in the south. They owned several winter homes on both coasts of Florida and in 1994 finally made their last move to the golf resort community of DelTura in North Ft. Myers. They both considered this move to be their best, making many new friends and enjoying the great socially active lifestyle the community offered. Golfing, card games, choralaires (Flo loved to sing and had a great voice), relaxing by the pool, going to parties and shows, and traveling, all with good friends, filled the days and nights with fun. In Maine, Flo and Bill moved from Cape Elizabeth to a home and later a condominium on the lake, which was a perfect place to spend the beautiful Maine summers.
Bill's health declined with Parkinson's disease and he passed away in 2013. Flo continued to live at home in Florida until health issues convinced her to move to Calusa Harbour assisted living in 2017. As her physical abilities and memory slowly declined, she continued to be physically and socially active and maintained her style and grace. Forever positive, Flo never complained and was a joy to be with, keeping her self-deprecating sense of humor until the day she died. Florence will be missed and remembered by all who knew her as a proud woman who lived with purpose and determination, and enjoyed life with good humor, class and grace.Besides her husband Bill and her parents, Florence was predeceased by her brother, John Gunn; her sister, Catherine Day; and sister, Jane Satagaj.
She is survived by her son, Stephen Hammond and his wife, Martha; son Brad Hammond and his wife, Tracy; grandchildren, Kim, Nicole, Nick, Danielle, Dustin and John; and great-grandchildren, Avery, Sophia, Autumn and Acadia.

July 10, 2015HAMPDEN - Faye Herrick (Flye) Clisham, age 89, passed away at her home on July 8th, 2015.
She was born at her parents' home in the little town of Brooklin, Maine on February 24, 1926, arriving before the doctor. She truly enjoyed her childhood, especially tagging along with her beloved older sister Glyneta and playing on the shore of Center Harbor. She often reminisced of how she and her sister "Neat" would enjoy spending time at the shore, swimming and exploring around the giant rock, which she referred to as "her rock". She shared many delightful stories of growing up on the coast, walking with friends to roller-skate in Sedgwick, spending time on Flye Island with her sister, (even getting caught with a campfire during the blackouts of WWII), and spending time at the family-owned store "Joyce and Flye General Store." Her last visit to Brooklin was last summer and she had the chance to see and reminisce with people at the Brooklin Keeping Society and got to enjoy a lovely visit with her childhood friend Eunice and her husband Stanley.
Faye was valedictorian of the Brooklin High School class of 1944. She joined the Cadet Nurses Corp and earned her R.N. at Eastern Maine General Hospital (now EMMC), graduating in 1948. She remained close for the rest of her life to her nursing school pals "Mose", Liz, and Ginny. Since the war ended, she did not have to serve in the military as a Cadet Nurse but spent her 32 year nursing career on the Pediatric ward at Eastern Maine General Hospital/Eastern Maine Medical Center where staff fondly knew her as "Faysie", working alongside her dear friend and fellow R.N. Rita Husson.
In 1951, she enjoyed a wonderful trip to Anchorage, Alaska, truly a trip of a lifetime.
On November 3, 1956 she married William James Clisham of Bangor. Her son Andrew M. Clisham was born in 1959 and her daughter Peggy Faye Clisham was born in 1965.
Faye was predeceased by her parents Leonell "Lee" A. Flye and Laura Mae (Joyce) Flye, as well as her beloved sister Glyneta Mae (Flye) Andrews and brother-in-law George "Junior" Andrews. She became the last of the Flye line in her family as she didn't have brothers to carry on the family name. Faye was also predeceased by her husband of almost 25 years, William James Clisham, in 1981.
She was a very hard worker and very dedicated to her work and her family. She retired from EMMC in 1991 shortly after her first grandchild, Jarrod H. Brown, was born, who renamed her as "Nanny." Her granddaughter, Kelcie N. Brown was born in 1997 on her big brother's birthday.
Faye was a wonderful role model for her family with her true foundation of unconditional love. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Bangor and the Brooklin Baptist Church. She always enjoyed going to church with her sister-in-law Evelyn Clisham and sitting in the same pew every week with the other ladies.
Faye always had a positive outlook and took great joy in the little things in life, such as birds chirping, cute pictures of babies and animals, a hot cup of morning coffee, her "favorite" color purple and the beautiful "Faye blue" sky. Activities she enjoyed were tackling the Bangor Daily News crossword puzzle each day, going to the concerts of the Bangor Band and the Brewer Hometown band. In the past few months, she has truly enjoyed her weekly Scrabble games with hospice volunteer (and new best friend) Martha. She always enjoyed having people stop by to visit her and she will especially miss her visits with Jack, Jamie, Tim the mailman, and her phone calls with dear friends and family.
She is survived by her son, Andrew M. Clisham of Bangor, daughter Peggy F. Brown of Gray, grandchildren Jarrod H. Brown of Portland, Kelcie N. Brown of Gray, sister-in-law Evelyn Clisham, niece and husband Betty & Glenn Simpson, nephews Bob, Steve and Jackie Clisham, and niece Nota Carter and family of Brooklin.
