Allan Hanson

May 19, 1954 - August 30, 2019

Allan Hanson, age 65 died peacefully in his sleep on Friday night, surrounded by his sister, Laurie, Rita Basset Hound and friends. He was a loyal friend to many, and a purveyor of quick wit and sarcastic humor. Allan was one of a kind. He delighted in relaying historical and political trivia. He loved old movies and TV shows, constantly quoting lines. Allan graduated from the University of Minnesota with a double major in Political Science and Sociology, and a master’s degree in business administration in accounting. He was a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity and continued his involvement in later years as a mentor. His passion was his love of Basset Hounds, beginning with Archibald at age 6, then Beauregard, Buddy and Rita. He overcame tremendous health obstacles throughout his life as he pursued various leisurely activities. Tennis was a particular favorite of his. He owned a successful CPA practice with his father, Theodore, diligently working to the end. He derived great satisfaction from helping his clients, many of whom were friends. His advice was always impeccable. Allan was preceded in death by his parents Floanne (Summerfield) & Theodore Hanson. He is survived by sister, Laurie (Clay) Mering; niece, Vatika, and many dear friends. The family would like to thank Dr. Woolley, the Park Nicollet staff, the Villa staff, and all of his friends who participated in Allan’s life.
