Not sure what to say?

My husband and I were so deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Hansen's passing. He was a wonderful man... gentle and in charge....he always made you feel like everything was ok. My mother and I have been patients of his for a very long time. We all send our deepest condolences to his family. Dr. Hansen was a man we were all very fond of and proud to know. We will say prayers for him and keep his memory close to our hearts.
Sincerely, Mari and Jack Davis and Eileen Bookstaver (Upper...

Our sympathies to Dr. Hansen's family. My mother and I were both patients of Dr. Hansen's for many years. He was a very kind, compassionate and gentle doctor. Dr. Hansen always had a kind word to say. He will be missed by my mother and I. May he rest in peace.

My condolences and prayers to the Hansen family and warm thanks for sharing your husband, dad, and grandfather, with so many of us for all of these years. My first visit to Dr. Hansen was in 1976 and he was just as kind and compassionate then as he was at my last visit this year. May he rest in peace.

Dr. Hansen was a true professional, a obstetrician who made it obvious that he loved his craft, and who left a lasting mark on the young physicians and medical students who had the honor of working with him. He also was a kind and gentle voice who was respected by his peers. He faced his illness bravely, never allowing it to dim his smile. Though gravely ill, it was always Gerry who would first ask how you were doing, and how your family was doing. It was never feigned, his empathy and...

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Hansen's family. Dr. Hansen delivered me in 1975 and years later I became a patient of his, for almost 20 yrs. I will always remember his kind way and gentle voice. He will be greatly missed and may his legacy live on through the students he taught. I am forever grateful for his care and comforting manor. May he rest in peace.

I am so saddened to hear of Dr Hansen’s passing. He was such an instrumental part of three generations of my family and such a wonderfully compassionate physician. Our hearts will miss him but the results of his wonderful practice will live on. Please take comfort in knowing his life touched, and saved, so many others.

I am saddened to learn of Dr. Hansen's passing-he was always kind, gentle and reassuring when I saw him in the office and he was wonderful to me after my surgery. He was the epitome for how a real doctor should treat patients. I am heartened to know that he did pass along his caring attitude to other medical professionals. My condolences go to his family and I wish them peace and joy in remembering Dr. Hansen's many thankful patients.

I was so sorry to hear that Dr. Hansen passed away. I was a patient for over 36 years. Dr. Hansen delivered my daughter 34 years ago and my oldest grandson almost 10 years ago. He was a kind and gentle man and I will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Hansen and family. Truly there was not a more wonderful, caring, compassionate doctor that so many women put their trust in. I wasn't fortunate enough to meet him until I was almost 54. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Dr. Hansen said he would be performing my surgery along with Dr. Gafori. Everything turned out fine and I was always very grateful for his expertise. He always made me feel extremely comfortable and remained my doctor until his...
