Rather than telling you how he died, let us tell you how he lived. Bill Hanson was born October 30, 1910, to Carl & Mathilda Hanson on the family farm near Dalton, MN. Bill, the youngest of 13 children, stayed on the farm until his high school years when he moved to St. Paul, MN, to attend the University of Minnesota Agricultural High School.

In 1936, Bill began his employment with Beacher-Cummings in Minneapolis, MN, where he learned to be a Refrigeration Service Engineer. In 1948, he began his career with Refrigeration Supply, then a small fledging wholesaler, selling to the commercial refrigeration trade. He stayed with and was instrumental with the growth of the organization until he retired in 1984. In 1936, he also became a member of RSES (Refrigeration Service Engineering Society), and remained an active member to the present. In 1942, Bill and his wife Helen moved to south Minneapolis and became members of Faith Lutheran Church.

Bill enjoyed good health throughout his life. Besides his passion for church activities, he was an avid hunter, fisherman, golfer, gardener, woodworker and lover of music. He sang in and directed choirs and played the violin and cornet. He also loved hunting pheasants in south central Minnesota and North Dakota while traveling. The rougher the walking terrain, the better. He also loved to play racquetball at Fargo’s YMCA, especially when his opponents were 30 years his junior. He and Helen had a lake cabin on Crystal Lake with a monstrous garden that supplied fresh vegetables to all of their friends and neighbors. He even had a sleep-in-the tent camping/fishing trip to Lac Seul, Canada at the age of 88 and a tour of Norway at the age of 90.
Bill married Marlene Tucker on June 30, 1991, at Grace Lutheran Church.

He would patiently saw 30 or more of the same objects for students to sand and paint.
