Larry Hanson

I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. It was my pleasure to be one of his nurses in his care at PRCP. Mr. Hanson was such a kind, lovely gentleman.

Larry, Raili and Jeff were my tennis mentors in the `80s at Howarth Park. Simpler times, great memories! Over the years I´ve reflected and relived those memories and smiled - big. My best wishes for Jeff and Wendy and your families.

During the 1980's, a program called "Link" paired local high schools with businesses in Snohomish County. Marysville-Pilchuck High happened to be linked with the Everett Herald, so in 1987, when the school was developing its first journalism class in 15 years, Herald Publisher Larry Hanson enthusiastically supported the project. He sent professional reporters to the classroom, funded a workshop at Seattle Pacific University for the fledgling student editors, assigned his assistant Kim...

Yes, Larry "had a talent for finding the light in others and reflecting it back". My favorite brother Jon Horne worked in a lower level position in "distribution" for the Herald. Larry would often visit with Jon regarding their love of sports and growin-up in the same 1950 era in blue collar Everett. Both played high school sports - Jon at Lake Stevens and Laary at Everett. Both were raised in Lutheran Churches. When Jon's health failed miserably, Larry and the Herald paid his insurance...

I remember Larry and his family when they were long time members of prince of peace Lutheran in Eastmont. in his college years i was told by he and my mom they went to Everett community college at the same time. He went on to business and she to social work. I worked with Mrs. Hanson being a nurse myself. I hope you all remember well the wonderful memories of your father; he was a great man and God be with you during this time.

Larry and I disagreed on more things, than we agreed upon. But he always treated me with upmost respect! Always. Our society could learn from Larry´s treatment of mankind. His smile calmed any situation and his genuine compassion never left you second guessing his sincerity! Gods Speed Larry! Thanks for making me a better person!
