George HANSEN Obituary
April 22, 1934 – Calgary, Alberta
July 6, 2017 – Calgary, Alberta
George Hansen passed away with his family by his side, on Thursday, July 6, 2017, at the age of 83 years. George, known as Bulldog, was a proud native Calgarian who attended Western Canada High School, played junior football with the Broncs, and received his B.Sc from the University of Georgia. He was signed with the Stampeders in 1959, playing for seven years. He then moved into an administrative position with the club. George had a love for football, most especially for his teams, the Stampeders and the Georgia Bulldogs. George's life was influenced by many diverse cultures, having lived his life not only in Calgary, but also in the southern United States of Georgia and Mississippi, as well as overseas in the city of Dubai. He will be remembered as a humble, loyal, and kind man. He is survived by his children Carol, Charlotte, and George (Euphoria); grandchildren Kristin and True; sister June; and brother Colin. He was predeceased by his wife Jeanine; his parents Eva and George Hansen; brother Dennis; and sister Betty. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Red & White Club (1833 Crowchild Trail NW) on Friday, July 14, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. Join us in wearing red in honour of George. Please forward condolences through www.calgarycrematorium.com.

He was a kind, giving man. He gave his time freely. He gave good advice about a person's God given rights!

George was our senior high school assistant football coach and worked with Coach Marty Lundmark at CCI in 1960. He was a terrific coach and a great guy with his impressive Georgia football background. We had an excellent season with Kris Schmidt winning the Harry Hood Trophy and I still remember the team party after the season. RIP George and thanks for everything. We all thought you were wonderful.

Our sincere condolences to George's family. Our family had the pleasure of meeting George and Jeanine when our dad, Jim Duncan, was with the Stampeders. George had a giant heart, a great sense of humor, a down-to-earth and compassionate presence, and was always a pleasure to be around. He was fabulous at keeping in touch and was a true gentleman. We were proud to have had the good fortune to know him and call him our friend. We will cherish his memory as I know you will.
