Peter Day Hanson

Rev. Hanson helped us a lot when he was the pastor of the Poultney Methodist Church. We learned a lot while in MYF. He took us on a trip to NYC and set up visits to the Green Mountain college. His sermons got us to think as well as to believe in God and the Lord Jesus. Both he and Mrs. Hanson are just wonderful people.

As a newly ordained minister in Peter's church in Fairfield, I couldn't have asked for a better mentor and friend. He and Cynthia were crucial to my ministerial formation. Dennis Winkleblack

My condolences to the family of Rev. Hanson. I have fond memories of Sunday school at Poultney Methodist church and going to a church day camp at the family farm in East Poultney.

We loved Peter, Friday am bible study in library at Gables. Seeing every Sunday at church in his favorite spot. God Bless his lovely wife and all she did for him. RIP Peter your missed everyday. xoxoxo Annie & Kae

We were privileged to know such a kind, generous man and enjoyed many times and him and his family. We send out best wishes to his family and will miss him.

I've got very fond memories of Rev. Hanson while growing up in Brandon and attending the Methodist Church.. He was a remarkable role model who while living with polio was still able to hike the Long Trail from Middlebury Gap to Brandon Gap with his Methodist Youth Group. Then there was the trip to the Worlds Fair in NYC that he organized. I have many good memories of the man in my youth and for that, I thank you. RIP Rev Hanson.

My prayers go out to all of Peter's family. Peter was a vital part of my growing up in Poultney. He now rests with his Lord. I know that his memory will live in the hearts of you, his family, and all the lives he has touched over the years. Rest in Peace, Rev Peter.
