Not sure what to say?

I miss you Dad. I think of you often and hope you knew how much I loved you. I like to think you are looking down on us and see how much we are enjoying life in New Hampshire! LOVE YOU

Dear family of Robert, we are sorry for your lost. Time seems to stand still when someone you love fall asleep in death. We are given assurance that we will continue to be comforted during this period of grief. The wonderful memories we share will alway keep us connected to our loved ones.

Dear Janet, I'm so sorry to learn of your husband's passing. I hope you are strengthened by the love and caring of friends and family. My prayers are with you.

Mark, Linda & family
I may not have known your Dad, but reading people's memories of him, especially his students', perfectly described you, Mark. He was just cool: funny, well-rounded, a caring person. What a wonderful Dad and role model he was to you. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Please accept my sincerest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are not alone during this time. You can pour out your heart to God in prayer and He will give you strength and comfort and peace. Psalms 9:9,10 says God will become a secure refuge for those seeking Him, He will never abandon them. God will never abandon you.

I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Hansen as my teacher of American History for both 7th & 8th grades at Silas Deane Jr. High. Not only did I love going to his class, I learned so much that decades later, I wish I could take his classes all over again. (Those outlines!) He was so interested in history, made it come alive, and respected us as individuals -- even us snot-nosed jr. high schoolers. Plus, he was just cool: funny, well-rounded, a caring person. We knew he wanted us to succeed....

So saddened to learn of coach Hansen's passing.
A very kind man who earned and deserved respect from all who were fortunate to know him. My days at WHS on the Championship tennis team are full of fond memories thanks to coach. Heaven is a better place with his addition.

Respectfully Bob Wolf WHS class of 1967

Loved Mr Hansen as a history teacher.... I remember him telling us we could either memorize the Gettysburg address or General Order no 9 (Robert E Lee's written speech at the end of the Civil War). I chose to memorize that one and he didn't have a copy in front of him to check whether or not I did it correctly.... we all had a good laugh. He was a great history teacher.
