CASCO -- Alfred Curtis 'Hank' Hanscom, 86, died on Aug. 4, 2010.
He was born in Casco on May 19, 1924, the son of Fred C. and Dorothy Curtis Hanscom. He was a graduate of Casco High School. Hank served in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946 in India Burma as well as Central Burma where he received the Good Conduct Medal, Victory Medal, Asiatic Pacific Theater Campaign Ribbon and the American Campaign Ribbon.
On Sept. 4, 1946, he married Winifred Robinson and had four children together. Hank was a self-employed logger for many years. After retiring from logging he worked at the Naples Country Club and most recently at the Casco/Naples Bulky Waste Facility.
Hank was an avid sportsman who enjoyed fishing, hunting and golfing. He won many golf tournaments and set a course record at the Naples Country Club. Hank and Winnie wintered in North Myrtle Beach, SC for several years where he played golf every day and made his last hole in one at age 80.
He loved life, talking to people and telling stories. He once said, 'If you wake up in the morning and put your feet on the floor, then kick up your heels and say yippee, I made it to another day.' His optimistic attitude will be greatly missed.
