Yesterday was Grandpa Hansen's 80th birthday. He has meant so much to our family. He is a wonderful husband to grandma, and loves her dearly. He is creative and inventive. He made a kite for all the great grandkids and they had a ball flying it yesterday. I have only known grandpa a little over 8 of those 80 years, but I feel that I have known him my entire life. He genuinely loves people and can always make us smile. He always has a joke or a crude song to sing (he was in the Navy). He remembers everyone he meets and has a phenomenal memory. I feel so close to him and have always been able to talk to him easily. He is a person that everyone feels comfortable with. Grandpa and grandma have always been a great example and I know that Casey has considered grandpa to be his best friend his entire life. So a tribute to grandpa and to many more years. You know you have to live to be at least 180! We love you!
