One Less Great Man In The World

     My Grandfather, Otto Hansen, August 12, 1919 - October 22, 2010. At 91 Years Old, still smarter and stronger than many people 1/3 his age. He was and will always continue to be a profound influence on my life. Garbologist, Inventor, Carpenter, Sailor, Patternmaker, Artist, Carver, Hunter, Fisher, Soldier, Son, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather. The most frugal person I have ever known. He would say cheap. Also the most generous. The endless things he gave me (and many others besides) extend far beyond the material realm. My heart breaks to think of him gone. I will miss him until I the end of my days.
