HANSON, Lawrence David

55, of Steam Mill, Kings Co., passed away Thursday, May 21, 2009, at home after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born in Kentville, he was a son of the late Marvin and Dorothy (Schnare) Hanson. Since childhood, Lawrence had a love of the great outdoors and hard work. He started working in the woods as a teenager where he learned the art of silver culture and working with teams of horses and oxen. His passion for oxen grew through his life and he had won many ox pulls across the province. His pride grew when he taught his own boys to pull as well, passing his drive and dedication on to the next generation. He was a wonderful role model as a scout leader at Bethany Memorial for over 10 years. His other loves included his family, many fishing trips, playing crib and lately watching television with family and his devoted dog, Jazz. His greatest accomplishment was to be a strong, caring "Papa" by instilling morals and values to his family and showing them you never give up until the work is done. His love for the Lord grew, when he needed it the most, by attending services and seniors at Bethany with his extended family. This led Lawrence to giving his life to his Lord and being baptized. He is survived by and will be sadly missed by his loving wife and best friend, Ruby (Seaman); his sons, Lester (Christine), Kentville; Trevor (Charmaine), Calgary, Alta.; grandchildren, Nakita, Justin, Kyla and Katelyn; brother, Marvin; sisters, Marion Pert and Bertha Harvie; several nieces and nephews; his neighbour and special friend, Riley.

Burial will take place in the Elm Grove Cemetery, Steam Mill. Family flowers only by request. Donations in memory may be made to Bethany Memorial Baptist Church, the Annapolis Valley Victorian Order of Nurses, or the charity of your choice.

Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to White Family Funeral Home, Kentville.
