Not sure what to say?

I will always remember David Hannah's Sunday School lesson when I was a youth. We were studying the book of Genesis and someone asked how God could create the world in only 7 days. His answer was on I heard again on the radio the other day - "God's time is different from our time. One day does not necessarily translate into 24 hrs." Thank you, David, for teaching my Sunday School class.

I am forever indebted to David Hannah, Jr. -- visionary, supporter, teacher, Christian. He was a trustee of Presbyterian School when I was hired as Head of School. He requested that the Birkman personality assessment be given to me during my interview process. He deeply believed in applying science and Christ-centered values to improve inter- and intra-personal relationships for the good of individuals and organizations.

David was my Sunday school teacher at First Presbyterian Church and taught me by example about the love of God. He and Catherine were dear friends. My thoughts and prayers are with his children and grandchildren.

David Hannah, Jr taught me many things about knowing God, the Holy Spirit, and one's self. He was my Sunday School teacher and friend. These pictures tell one part of the story: I studied in Spain in the spring of 1973. Catherine & David Hannah, with their friends the Burleson's took me along for a week as their 'interpreter'. His forever young-at-heart spirit was, and still is, an inspiration to me. Glen, David, Kenzie, Douglas, Flo, John and Rita, bless you all as you celebrate his life!~

It was my privilege to know Mr & Mrs (Catherine) Hannah beginning when i was a teenager. He demonstrated true Christian humility and offered me some very wise advice upon my college graduation. My prayers are with David, Douglas aand Glen and their families. John Heafer

I never had the chance to meet Mr. Hannah as I only started working for Space Services recently but I have heard only wonderful things about him. So I'll light a candle for the loss of my coworkers, to whom this man meant so much.
