Boyd "Scoop" Hanson

Just like that, 20 years have passed and I still miss you every day. What I wouldn't give to go on one more fishing trip together with you.

Miss you and love you. Thank you for the memorie,Big Brother❤. Shirley Rose

Still a Light in my life. Our jokes, hugs, and wonderful times together give me lasting memories. Miss you, Cookie❤

So many times recently I've thought to myself, "I wish I knew what my Dad would say about this..."
18 years now, and I miss you more each day.

Another Anniversary of your passing away all too soon. Memories abound of times spent enjoying your humor and kindness.

Fall always reminds me of you, Dad. It's the time of year when the leaves fall with the temperature and I look to the skies to see flocks of ducks and geese gathering for their journey south. I will always cherish the memories of the times we spent together on the road, on the lakes and in the woods. Oh, what I would give to take one more trip to Canada together with you. I miss you and love you.

Memories of fun times, visits at each other’s home and family reunions are forever precious to me. XO ❤

Miss you lots OPA!!

9 years ago today we lost a great American and a great friend. Rest in peace, Dad. We miss you.

Happy Birthday, Pa! We all miss you very much.

Oh Boyd, shame on me for missing this day; I did however remember you all the days prior but then to only forget you on your day; I'm so sorry. I miss you so much, as all of us do, and you know that. I've been wishing that I could come back to MN for another visit, but for now it is going to have to be just wishful thinking. I hope you're doing well up there, of course I won't know what's really going on until it's my turn. Love you so much, Sandi

Dad, I can't believe it has been 5 years since you left us. The fall season reminds me of the times we spent together in the woods and the duck blinds, hunting and just being together. You are my greatest friend. I miss those days and I miss you.

Hello again! I miss you a lot and thought I would update you on some things...I moved from Alaska and live here in Ohio now. I am in school to be a paramedic and reach the first step in December. I love you and I will keep you updated!

Hi there Boyd........things are about the same here; think of you every day at one time or another. I keep in touch with your family, whom I love to pieces. Shirl is good with the hugs and vice versa. I got to visit with all of them last year and I didn't want to go home. So much fun, love and lots of those hugs. i miss you, but you're in a good place and we will all be together again one day.....smile. I sure do love you. sis, Sandi

Thinking about you and miss you LOTS! See ya at them pearly gates one day. Love you lots.

Hi opa!!! I just wanted to stop by and say hi....Its been a while since I visited. I miss you SOOO much but I know one day I will see you again. I will stop by again soon. I love you OPA!!!

Miss you !!!!!!

It's that time again, 3 years and counting, uff da. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you; as with the rest of the family. Say hello to our loved ones and wish we could talk. I cry when I read all that is being said here by your loved ones. I wish I could have had this sooner to write in, but I got it today and it made me smile through the tears. We had our big snow hit last night and it's beautiful; you would just love it, as it is definitely a Winder Wonder Land outside. I love you so much and miss you terribly. Sister Sandi

Hi Opa! Its gettin cold up here and we have about 10 inches of snow! Everybody here is doing really good and I just wanted to check in and say I miss you and love ya!!! LOTS!!!!

Hi Opa..long time no talk. sorry bout that. Well I just wanted to say hi and tell ya that I am living in Alaska now...well for the past two years now..got me a little lab of my own..his name is buddy..hes a good bird dog i think...real keen on the wildlife thing so thats good. I got married back in March to a girl i met up here. Her name is Tiana. I took her home to meet Oma and she had a great time. I miss you alot OPA...talk to you again soon!
Love ya

Dad: this time of year always reminds me of you, and the great times we had hunting and fishing in Canada and all the other great places we went. I have you to thank for my love of wildlife and the outdoors.

The cool weather, the changing leaves and the sound of geese in the distance makes me think of you. I wish we could have just one more trip to Canada to spend some time in the marsh. I miss you, Dad.

Gardening has been a passion of mine. I know, Grandma Hanson was my reason/mentor. You, too, always enjoyed the outdoors, be it hunting and/or gardening. So we share one of the same - you will be with me, always, in God's beauty. Miss you, love, Shirley Rose

Happy birthday, Dad. I miss you more than ever.

Dad-It's been two years. I too miss you very much. As you know, all is good here. As GB stated, it is amazing how much you influenced me and my life. Every day at the deli, as I'm working the grill, being an apprentice hamburger smasher..you are there with me, they say my burgers are the best, thanks to you. I treasure my memories of you. I believe you visit the house regularly and keep us on our toes. Mom is well and missing you today (as every day) I love you and we will talk again soon.
Love, Beri

Well Boyd, I hope it takes this time. I miss you; but I see you looking back at me everyday, with that rugged handsome face of yours. Thanks to your sweetiepie sending us all your photo. I look back fondly when I think of my 2 big brothers taking me to Eureka, I will charish that drive with you forever. I know you're at peace now and with all your loved ones that have gone before you; so, I know you're busy catching up. You are the dear soul that kept everyone in a good mood even if they weren't. You comforted me at my first funeral of your Mother-In-Law, when I was alone and crying. I think of you everyday and one day we will be together again. I love ya, 'Scoop', Sandi #8

My loving brother, Boyd - I miss you so very much. You gave joy and laughter to so many, during you life. I think of you always and keep you close to my heart. Rest in peace, my dear brother! Love always, Shirley Rose

What can I say...

Boyd,

I can't believe it's been a year. We miss your humor, wit and smile. You are always in our hearts.



Laurie&Scott Richards

Well its been a whole year. I can't believe it, it seems like yesterday ...that i heard..."well we gotta do .....?"Im sure it was a very important task/job(they always were). It seems like yesterday that I asked for some guidance, some help or some directon. It seems like just yesterday that i was planning a thanksgiving....only yesterday you were here. I miss you more then words can say...my heart aches for some directon from you....I wound give almost anything to hear you say..."well we gotta....." I love you Grampa

Opa, well it's almost been a year and i miss you greatly. you were the coolist opa i knew and i will never forget you. you have giving me so much wisdom and advice and it will help me guide me throught life. the thing i miss the most is when you tried to talk to me in some forigan language it was so fun to try to undersatnd you. i loved when you would make pancakes on sunday morning. love ya and miss ya justine

Happy Birthday, Dad. I miss you.

I am amazed at the influence you had on my life. No matter where I am, I will never hear Bagpipes without thinking of you, I will never see another duck or goose without thinking of you, I can never walk past a grocery store freezer case without thinking of you, every time I hear a Sven and Ole joke, I will be reminded of your sense of humor. Even every Chevy Suburban I see on the road brings back memories. The simplest things that you did, like making honey and maple syrup, and raising chickens and selling the eggs makes me glad that I had the privelege to know you. You taught me and so many others so many things. These things will always be with me and every instance of these things will make me think of you.

Sometimes I thought you could never die, and in a way, I was right. You will live forever in our memories and you will not be forgotten.

I love you and miss you, Dad.

Dad..I love you.

Opa, its almost christmas and I will be missing you greatly. I think about you everyday and I remember all the fun times I had with you and oma. I love you so much opa and this is very difficult to grasp that you are gone...I love you very very much and I will definately see you again one day. Thank you for being my grandpa and one of my best friends...thanx for your guidance and wisdom and I will keep in touch lots. I love you very much OPA.

Erik

To the family of Boyd Hanson,

Our prayers and hearts are with you always. We will miss your sense of humor. You could always make us laugh. I will miss calling there asking for Tina and you saying "Tina Who?". It was an honor and a privledge to know you. Thank you and Shirley for letting us hang out there in the summers it was truly the best. We will miss you.



Love,

Laurie and Scott

Its Thanksgiving, the first of so many Holidays without you. Thankyou for always believing in me, for not being judgemental and always making me feel special. Your house was always "kid friendly" and the coolest place to hang out. You truly set the example of the way families should behave toward one another, I hope that I can live up to you examples. I dont know how it I will live the rest of my life without hearing one of your stories, or watching you eat corn on the cob! You are the finest man I have ever known, and I know that I am a better person because you were in my life. Thankyou for everything, I will love you always and miss you forever! Love Kirsten

Today is Thanksgiving and the first of so many Holidays without you Opa. I dont know how I am going to live the rest of my life with out hearing your voice telling some silly joke. Thankyou for always being in my corner and for not judging me. Thankyou for always believing in me. You set the example of how families should always be there for each other no matter what. I will try to learn from your example in the way I live my life. You were truly the finest man I have ever known, and I know that I am better because I had you in my life. Love Kirsten

My condolences go out to my grandma (OMA) and the rest of the family. I never got to see grandpa in the hospital before he passed but Holly and I are left with memories of happiness and friendship. You will be in our hearts always OPA and we both love you deeply. OPA was always the comedian and always made me and my wife laugh even though she only met him a couple of times. I am honored to have gotten to know a kind and good person like my grandpa. Love ya much opa always and forever.

Our Dearest Brother,



All of us of the Zuhrah Pipes and Drums will miss you dearly, but remember you every year at the Ice Cream Social. Your caring and sharing are strong examples of what it is to be a mason and a shriner.



Peace be with you, and with you peace.

Hanson family, you were the greatest neighbors. The memories of watching Boyd practice his pipes with a half dozen kids marching behind him..Pied Piper! The winter was started when we saw the flooding of the back yard for ice skating. And not to forget the ice cream..Kemps, of course, every Christmas without fail.The trips and kindness you showed my son Jim are not forgotten. Always a smile and a laugh. The other side has no idea who just arrived. Lots of action! God's speed , Boyd.

Grandpa ... Yoiu are one of a kind and I will miss you for the rest of my life. I thank you for being the best grandfather in the world, for all the fun things you did with us and all the life lessons that u taught me. For never judging me, & for promising me that no matter how many times i screwed up in this life, you would always be in my corner...... Please know that you will remian in a league all your own in my book. I know u were tired and i understand that u had to go. God knows there were others above that had been waiting for you for a long time, and those angels must be rejoicing that you are finally home. But my heart breaks because i know that now the rest of us still here have to wait for you. I can't help myself from wishing that u could have stayed. squeebish squabish granndpa! I love u always......E

He'll be greatly missed and our love and sympathy go out to you,Shirley, and your family. Loren and Sandy

Raeann, we love you and all of your family. You are in our thoughts, love you.

Thanks, "Scoop" - Your friendship with Dan allowed me the privilege to meet you, enjoy your humor and stories, "honey" and wisdom. Rest in Peace - you will be truly missed.

Shirley & family, I am so sorry to hear of Boyd's passing. He will never be forgotten. I can still hear in my mind my kids (when they were children) hollering at the top of their lungs "Mr. Santa is here" when Boyd would come to our home to deliver his yearly "Christmas Treats". Oh how my family looked forward to those ice cream treats each holiday season. Love to all, your former neighbor, Gigi

Sympathy to all on Boyd's death. Always enjoyed seeing him and he was proud that Jax served Kemps!! He will be missed...our prayers.

We are thinking of you and are keeping you in our prayers. All our love!
