I am so sorry to hear about the loss of a wonderful man. My children adored his humor when he came into the room, when we were there for visits. He was such a sweet, kind person. He took time with his patients and never rushed anyone.
Prayers going out to the Hansen Family. God bless all of you.

I just want to extend my deepest sympathy to the Hansen family. I have worked with Dr. Hansen for 5 years at Dean and have loved seeing his beautiful pictures and talking to him whenever I saw him in the halls. He will be deeply missed.

I was stunned when I saw Dr. Hanson's obituary in the newspaper this morning! I had no idea he was ill. My condolences go out to Dr. Hanson's family during this difficult time. I have been a patient of Dr. Hanson's for many years! I was always impressed with his bedside manner. He always took time to answer my questions and I never felt like just a "number" with him. He was a kind, gentle man who will be missed greatly!

Mark was a great friend and would do anything for those he cared for. We were fortunate to have known him for the past few years. We will never forget his wonderful sense of humor and all of the great stories he shared of his travels all around the world as well as his hilarious t-shirts. Our thoughts and love go out to his family as well as Rick at this very difficult time.
