Ray Samuel Hansen

West Point, 1950

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Paul Hansen on January 5, 2010:

My father was a man that was kind and generous
He loved all of us with such joy and pride
that it lit up his face every time we were together. He was a man that reached out to stay in touch with all his friends and family via email, phone, letters, sometimes just to say hello.

There was never a time that I could not talk to him
or that he would not offer advice (asked for or not)
Some of you may not have known my father the way that I did,
but for those who did not get to see this side of him
missed out on knowing a great man.

A man that made sure that his family was taken care of
even if it meant he had to sacrifice something important to him.

I remember saying to him, if someone has to go, do it while doing something you love to do....and he did.

In loving memory
your son

Paul

Julia, Colin, and Rachel send their love also
