Charles, better known as Keith, was born August 19, 1906, in Payson, Utah, the son of Charles G. and La Crish Vilate Hanson. He married his only sweetheart, Helen W. Larsen, on July 1, 1930. She preceded him in death on June 1, 2000, after nearly 70 years of marriage. After having survived some five years of sporadic employment during the Great Depression in the early 1930's, Keith finally found regular employment at Kennecott Copper Company. There, he worked for a total of seventeen years. But, based on his Great Depression experience, Keith was always striving to become independent of any employer. Towards that end, Keith acquired two small firms in Utah County, which he felt would enable him and his family to survive, no matter the employment conditions or whims of any employer. He also became involved in several activities aside from his regular employment. These activities included the acquisition of a Doctorate Degree in Metallurgy from the University of Utah in June 1960, at the age of 54. In addition, he, along with his brother, Burness, and sister, Gertrude, designed and developed two small subdivisions in the northwest part of Salt Lake City known as Hanson Subdivision 1 and 2. Keith also was a lover of the outdoors and became an expert in fly tying and fly fishing. Keith was preceded in death by six brothers: Arthur (at the age of one month), Donald, Glen, Burness, Gerald, and Rulon; and, two sisters, Gertrude and Dortha. Keith is survived by one sister, La Verl H. Kapoloski Reece of Salt Lake City, and several nieces and nephews who will greatly miss him. Services will be Thursday, November 17, 2005, at Noon, at the Walker Mortuary, 587 South 100 West, Payson, where friends may call one hour prior to the service. Keith will be interred beside his wife in the Payson City Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.walkerfamilymortuaries.com Published in the Daily Herald on 11/13/2005.
