Obituary of Edward Eric Hanson

It is with great sadness that the family of Edward "Ted" Eric Hanson of Queenstown, NB, beloved husband of Carol Anne (Gowing) Hanson announces his passing, which occurred on Saturday, September 27, 2014, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Montreal, Quebec on December 29, 1937, he was a son of the late Philip and Mary (Sheehan) Hanson. In addition to his wife, Ted is also survived by his three children, Douglas of Whistler, BC, John (Candace Walker) of Queenstown, NB and Tanya (William Lacey) of Queenstown; brothers, Tom (Till) of Calgary, Bert (Jean) of Winnipeg, and William of Ottawa; granddaughter Brannagh Lacey. He was predeceased by his four brothers David, Gerry, George, and Peter. Prior to his retirement, Ted predominantly worked as an entrepreneur. He was a hard-working individual that took great pleasure in spending time with people. He was someone that often put the needs of others before his own. Furthermore, his family was a great source of pride for him, and he was happiest when surrounded by them. As well, he highly valued learning in all forms and particularly took an interest in history, politics, and genealogy. He also enjoyed spending time collecting coins, and was an avid reader. Arrangements are under the care of Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John (634-7424). A memorial service will take place on Sunday October 5, 2014 at St. John’s Anglican Church Guild Hall, Gagetown, NB at 1:00 pm. For those who wish, remembrances may be made to the NB Heart Stroke Foundation.
