Dear Hansen Family: I was saddened to just learn of your Dad's passing while attending a PGA Show in Las Vegas. I knew John through the golf industry. He was a consummate gentleman and friend to many. He was a big supporter of the Association of Golf Merchandisers encouraging golf professionals, buyers and suppliers to the industry to join the organization. Did I forget to mention he was always nattily dressed? Memory eternal. Desane Blaney, Phoenix, AZ

Kevin & family~I am just hearing about your dad's passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. So many memories~may they comfort you and bring a smile to your heart. God bless~

John...it´s very hard to put into a paragraph all the memories I have of our friendship. Dinners in(we both were territorial in the kitchen ); so many special dinners out and events/parties where stories and laughter (and sarcasm!) were enjoyed. I will miss our talks, dear friend, and I hope you are enjoying a very loud, ON KEY! rendition of the Fight Song! Cindy

Kris and Kim, I loved that I met and got to know your dad. He was delightful and funny. I am so very sorry at your loss and pray that you are comforted with faith and warm memories.

Sending our most sincere condolences to all of John's family. We have GREAT memories of John at Mountain View Country Club, where we first met. He was always the life of a party. He will sadly be missed and fondly remembered. RIP our friend!

Will always remember my favorite Uncle and the precious gifts of his children.

Owe you some true props my friend...while we were celebrating your 40th birthday, September 25th, 1980, you and I walked into the Spinnaker Bar at the Hilton on 28th street. It was there you introduced me to my wife of nearly 39 years, Lori. Rest well and be at peace

John was a dear friend for many years. His friendship, with the knack for being best dressed, will last the test of time.
