Dr. John C. Hanson Ph.D.

I am a friend of Leslie's and live around the corner from her. My parents live close to you in Gulfport on Pinewood Circle and attend St. James. . . I feel as if I know you.

Laura and all of the Hanson Family-- I am so sorry for your loss. I only learned of John's passing today, as we had unfortunately lost touch after graduation from BSC where we were fraternity brothers. I always thought very highly of John, and remember all the great times we had in college. God bless you and your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Al, please know that you are loved and we were so very sorry to hear of John's passing. I know that you loved him very much and will miss him a great deal. Momma C, we send our love to you. May God be with you all at this time. Love, Suzanne, Jimbo, Willie & David Luker

I am saddened to learn of John's death. As fellow doctoral student with him at USM, I was impressed by his intellect and great sense of humor.

I was lucky enough to have had Dr. Hanson as my professor for Abnormal Psychology over at William Carey, and his class was always beyond phenomenal. He was exciting and interesting as a teacher and held one of the best classes I was ever part of. The field has lost a fantastic educator, and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of my friend John. He was a source of encouragement to me, a positive influence, and a true friend during the teen years we shared together. I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences and prayers for the spiritual comfort of his immediate and extended family.

Allison and Mrs. Hanson, I cannot imagine your pain right now, but wanted to say that I am so sorry about John. Please know that you are in my prayers, as are his wife and children.

I worked with John at Gulfport Police Department. He made a difference in every life he touched. He will be sadly missed.

I am sorry for your loss with John's passing. It seems that it was only days ago that we were Patrol Boys at Wagner or riding our bikes down the alley. I hate that John and I really did not keep up with each other much after high school; however, I am certain, based on knowing John since before kindergarten, that he was a wonderful adult, husband, and father. My family and I will continue to keep you in our prayers that God may comfort you all during this time.
