Mr. Ken (Knud) Hansen passed away in Merritt, B.C. on December 23, 2019 at the age of 97 years. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Jean (John) Lauder of Quilchena, B.C., grandsons Adam, Erik and Ian (Paulina), as well as many nephews and nieces including Lene Hansen, who travelled from Denmark to visit him many times. He is predeceased by Tove, his wife of 32 years and 1 sister and 5 brothers in Denmark.
Ken felt very fortunate to live in Canada and enjoyed woodworking, fishing, playing bridge and playing golf. He was a handyman and even at 95 he changed his car’s tires from winters to summers himself. He was a gentle soul; he loved animals, was a good father and a wonderful grandfather.
Special thanks are extended to Dr. Van der Merwe and staff, Curt Thoms and staff of Black’s Pharmacy and the staff of the Florentine.
