Eugene William "Gene" Hanson Jr.

Happy Birthday Geneto what would have been your 70th birthday. Ill miss the celebrations you had at Yolandas. You always brought a smile to Julia and I with your humor and presence around Sunny Acres Park. You are greatly missed and will always be forever in our hearts.

How did I meet Gene?
While patrolling the campus of CSB, being observant for nefarious student's, staff and faculty, I observed Mr. Hanson attempting to exit the campus at a high rate of speed. I quickly and professionally had Mr. Hanson safely parked at curbside. Mr. Hanson was very courteous and suave in attempting to get out of a citation, but this officer was familiar with his attempts and issued the citation professionally.
Isn't life beautiful in that we became close...

Gene was a great guy, married to my best friend, Jenny, right out of high school. We all spent many hours playing cards (Hearts) at BC. Such fun memories of football, parties, cars and cards (and classes?)! While I didn't keep in touch with him over the years, I did hear bits of info about him from Jenny and son, Gene III. He will be missed. Very sad to hear of his passing. RIP Gene. Prayers for you and your family.
