GreatBalls of Fire Songwriter Dies

Burial Funds, to Pay the Final Burial Expenses for "Great Balls of Fire" Songwriter, Jack Hammer aka Earl Solomon Burroughs Who Died Broke, but not Broken!

Jack Hammer has touched Rock N’ Roll fans and lover of music from around the world with his 1957 smash hit “Great Balls of Fire,” sung by Jerry Lee Lewis.

Many who are just hearing of Jack Hammer’s passing are seeking to pay tribute and show their appreciation for this iconic figure, who will undoubtedly go down in history, as one of the architects of Rock N’ Roll, and inspire generations to come. 

One of the ways that you can contribute and show your appreciation is to support the burial fund and help pay the remaining burial cost, for Jack Hammers burial. Your generous donations would be greatly appreciated as your contributions will contribute to one of Rock N’ Rolls creators and a true original.       

Jack Hammer transitioned on April 8th 2016 in an Oakland CA nursing home, destitute and without resources for a proper burial. 

Jack’s estate was unfortunately left in ruins due to unscrupulous business dealings and untrustworthy persons who took advantage of the decline of his mental capacity that resulted from the onset of end of life dementia.  As a result, Jack began to make poor business and personal decisions near the end of his life.

Your financial contribution would be a final tribute to a man who gave to the world through his music and songwriting. As destiny would have it, Jack returned to San Francisco, “a city he left in 1950’s, only to return to San Francisco, to be buried next to his beloved Mother; and as the song says “When I come home to you, San Francisco Your golden sun will shine for me.”

And the sun will shine for Jack Hammers final rest, with your donations and the donations of those you share this “gofundme” with in your personal and social media network.
