I never got to know Dr. Hanssberger even though we shared membership in the sons of the American Revolution and the Huguenot Society. I find that he and I share a common Huguenot ancestor, and I wish we had found our "connection". My wife and I send our sincerely sympathy to the family. Bob Cheney, Montgomery

I knew Dr. Hansberger through his involvement in the Sons of the American Revolution. Ernest was always a gentleman, respectful and kind. For years, he was a key member of the Sons of the American Revolution. His smiling face and his kind attitude will be missed.
