Papa Jack, a Legacy


I'm taking an idea that Brenda shared on her blog;
It's A Beautiful Life blog
by honoring my dad.

My dad (Papa Jack),
passed away on June 24, 2006.
We still miss him very much!

Below is a picture from a blog post 
that I did a few years back.

My dad was a war veteran and he served in the
United States Air Force.


         This is all I have left of my dad.
                    His Air Force hat
                    Shoe horn
                    Reading glasses
                    His handkerchief
                    Some of his ashes in a cement heart.

Collage left to right:
His middle brother, mother, father, oldest brother
           My dad is the little blonde guy.
My dad in his flight suit. 
             He received The Purple Cross
My dad loved to sit in the sun.
This is the last picture of my dad 
             before he died, weeks later.


My dad  LOVED his family.
Below, Kimmy and Todd gave Papa Jack 
a haircut before he had surgery on his head.
He didn't know they gave him a Mohawk!


Which brings me to this handsome guy!
Levi, our 9 year old grandson,
 has been asking a lot questions 
about Papa Jack.


It was an honor to give him
 my dad's military dress hat.

 Levi wants to build a 
Legacy Shelf 
to display this hat
 and other memorabilia on.

This has made me so pleased!

My Hero


~ Jack Norman Hansen ~

This was who my Dad was.
Country, service, glasses, shoehorn, handkerchief,
and his ashes.


Thanks Dad for being a Hero to our country 
and me.





I love you and miss you.
