Senior Master Sergeant USAF (ret) Charles (Chuck) A. Hanson passed peacefully in his sleep at home, where he wanted to be, in the early morning hours on December 24th After his retirement, Chuck became a very successful Realtor, then started building homes and businesses. His reputation as a contractor was unmatched and he was a stickler for detail. He was also very active in the local business community and respected. My personal memories of Dad was that we moved many times and following him to all the different bases within the United States and abroad. With each move Dad would change our surroundings giving my brother and I a greater view of what this world offers. One last statement about our father, Dad was the kind of person that would do anything for another person, if he knew they really need help, and he knew the difference.
