Paul W. Hammack, Jr., former MCA President, active community leader, and dear friend to many in Mantua, passed away on Friday, June 26, 2026 at the age of 86.
Paul had a long “community resume” in Mantua and across Fairfax. He was President of the MCA twice, including a stint following the Texaco Oil incident in the 1990s.
