“One of the Good Guys”
Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather passed away peacefully on June 5, 2019 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born September 12, 1931 in Montpelier, Idaho to Jesse Hansen and Irene Draney Hansen.
Glen joined the Navy in 1948. He was trained as a fire fighter, metalsmith, and a welder on submarines. He served during the Korean War, assigned to the USS Howard W Gilmore, and was honorably discharged in 1952. Glen and Joan met on a blind date and were married on July 31, 1953.
He worked at Titan Steel as the shop superintendent for 13 years. He then worked at EIMCO as a production and operation manager for 14 years. Later he and his partner owned and operated a small business, G & G Steel, for 10 years. He was a hardworking man of great integrity, dignity and kindness and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He loved camping, boating, water skiing, snow skiing, and collecting rocks with his family. He became an accomplished silversmith and made jewelry for his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Joan Beatie Hansen; three children, Steven Hansen, Jill (Paul) Dahle, Jody (Gary) Gibson; five grandchildren, Danielle (Chad) Johnson, Alina (Brayden) Lawrence, Cortney Hansen, Jessica Hansen, and Heather (Stuart) Beck and two great grandchildren, Wyatt and Colton Johnson.
