Our deepest sympathies to the Hanna family. Mr. Hanna was one of the nicest men I've known and did a lot for Shreveport. May his memory be eternal!

My deepest love and sympathy to all the Hanna girls. Your
Father was loved by so many and will be missed tremendously.

To Mr. Hanna's "girls" and all the family, may you find comfort in the many memories that people share with you about how your Dad made a difference in our lives ~ as a friend, businessman, public official & leader, confident American, supporter of law, order & emergency personnel, avid LSU fan AND life-long family man! He was a Shreveport star and his legacy will shine on, and on, and on.......

That was the best time with Mr. Hanna and Daddy and I think of it often, and still know the words to the song we eight made up!! I love Billy Hanna and my love and...

Billy and Kenneth gave me my very first opportunity as a young man fresh from college & supported me completely. For that I am eternally grateful. Billy was always a great gentleman and so gracious. Even when I was broad-sided in his BMW demo! When Kenneth & I called him he very calmly said, "it's ok Ken, just let me know when it's out of the shop". I was so shocked &grateful. I now have a great career with one of the "Big 3" and have always been very proud to say that I got my start working...
