Rev. Michael H. Hansen

I just heard about Mike's passing, which is a blessing at our age. We were neighbors and classmates; we had the roles of mother and father in the 8th grade play, and I have a vivid memory of our rehearsing our lines while seated in my Dad's car in the driveway. I don't remember Mike as a teenager, which is strange, since I knew several boys in the novice class at Bergen Catholic. Now I'm sorry that I didn't keep in touch with him. He was a good old soul as a boy, and it seems from the notes...

I remember back in the day when i first moved into my town, and saw him taking a walk around town. i received communion when i was in 5th grade and he was the priest. After my communion i would see him everyday taking his walk when i was with my friends at the park. He would stop and talk to me for a while, and ask about my day or he would talk to me about a baseball game. It became a friendship. He gave a prayer during thee burial of my best friends, and he made me feel at ease because i...

Thank you to everyone who left a kind note. I enjoy reading each and every one. To anyone who is reading this now, I encourage you to also leave a few words. My Uncle was very special to our family and we all miss him dearly.

I was a alter boy for sacred heart church and was a student at sacred heart school. Father Hansen would take all the alter boys on a day trip to Seaside beach every year. Great person Great memories. He is the best RIP

Father Mike was a regular for dinner in our home on Thursday evenings. My brothers were altar servers at Sacred Heart in Bloomfield. Fr. Mike came to enjoy our family and watch Kung Fu. I recently shared about Father Mike at my women's Cornerstone gathering just last month. As a teenager his Masses and Homilies were inspiring. Lost touch after moving away and getting married. He was a great man.

Father Michael was a wonderful caring and kind priest. He was so kind and helpful to us in our great time of sorrow at the loss of Robbie. I am sure
they will meet in heaven. May Father Mike rest in peace for he is Safely Home.
Please accept my sincere sympathy to his whole family.

Father Mike was a fellow Fireman in Glen Ridge back in the 1960's and 1970's. A wonderful person and a good priest.
I am honored to have served with him. My sympathy to his family
