Richard HANSEN Obituary
19 January 1948- 25 September 2025
With much sadness we share that our beloved, loyal, husband, Dad, father-in-law and Grandad slipped quietly away at Ashburton Hospital after a brief illness. Love always, Lorraine; Chris and Kelly, Mathias and Thor (Hastings); Steph and Sam, Olly and Zoe (Ashburton). Dick was a respected Builder and "Boss", his family's Go-To Man for any job, dedicated Coach and Mentor, Champion of Common Sense, a very proud Dad and Grandad and a loyal Friend. Dick / Grandad / Dickles, the love of your family and friends goes with you. We will miss you and your sensible practical ways, your love and generosity, and all your skills, so much. Messages to PO Box 472, Ashburton 7740, or [email protected]. In lieu of flowers a donation to St John or Ashburton Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated. Honouring Dick's wishes, there will be no service. He wanted an informal gathering to celebrate his life, share stories and have a laugh and a drink. This will be held on Thursday, October 16, from 1.30-3.30, at the Allenton Rugby Clubrooms, Melrose Rd, Ashburton.

My condolences on the passing of Dick,
I have very fond memories of Dick coaching our Allenton under 17 Rugby team in the Mid-Cant/Ellesmere com in the Mid 80´s.
And then playing senior cricket with Dick at Sparrows Tekau as teenager around the same time, Where Dick was always a voice of great encouragement and support-a truly good man.
RIP Dick and my sincerest condolences to all your family.

Condolences to the Hansens family on Dick's (or as a few of us knew him as Tussock) passing. Great man around the rugby field and swimming pool. I know Brian (Dad) had a lot of respect and fond memories of him, as do I.
