Paul William Hanson

Paul, or Mr. Hanson as I knew him best, enjoyed life as much as anyone I know. The thing I will remenber most about him is his welcoming smile. When I was a wee lad in early elementary school Paul, aka Buddy, invited me to his house. Knowing that his dad was a "Principal" scared the heck out of me, but I went anyway. From that very first meeting through the next 40+/- years when ever I met Mr Hanson (Paul) I always felt welcomed. It didn't matter that it may have been 10 years since the last meeting. There was always the smile and the feeling of ease. I am greatful to have known him and I will miss him. Best wishes to all of you. Sincerely Ed

Paul and I met at Conant elimentary

school, Concord, we were in the second grade. Paul has always been a true and loyal friend as we grew up as kids. My wife and I were planning to visit Paul and Dottie at their lake home but never made it.

Our sincere condolence to Dottie and family. Bill & Joan Braley

I'm very sorry to hear of Mr. Hanson's passing. I was one of his first students in the Memorial School back when we were both much younger & my children had him for a short time also. My thoughts are with his family.
