Hanson Wong Obituary

Hanson Wong January 25, 1949 - May 5, 2010 Leaving us much too early, Hanson passed away peacefully with his family at his side after losing his courageous battle with leukemia. He was a devoted husband of 36 years to Shirley, loving father to Jeffrey (Heather), Gregory, Cory, and Zachary, and doting grandfather to Jared. Hanson worked as a carpet layer and warehouseman to provide for his family, and was the owner of Hanson's Pro Shop. He was an avid fisherman who enjoyed taking his boat out to South Tower. He has also left his mark in the bowling world, with a Hanson Wong Memorial Bowling Tournament being held in his honor on July 10, 2010 at Classic Bowl in Daly City. A private family service will be held at a later date. Friends are welcome to visit after June 5, 2010 at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Colma, Sanctuary of Peace Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, donations in Hanson's memory may be made to CPMC Foundation, P.O. Box 45902, San Francisco, CA 94145. His generous spirit and sense of humor will live on in all who knew him.

Hanson was a special friend to us and so many others. His laughter and smile was genuine. He never knew when to say "No" to the endless favors and his willingness to always helping others. We're very fortunate to have known him for so many years. Rest in peace. Your good spirit will continue to be an inspiration for all of us.
