Charles Hansen

Charles J. Hansen, Jr. Chuck On August 4, 2010, Charles Joseph Hansen, Jr., a kind and gentle man, peacefully passed away surrounded by his loving family. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him. Chuck made friends wherever he traveled. He always made those around him feel comfortable and loved. The West Desert and Uintah Mountains will be a little lonelier as those were some of his favorite places to take a day trip in his jeep. While his love for trips was great, he was good for 3 to 4 days and then needed to head for home. His most cherished possessions were his family members.

His career was in the financial business. He retired from Beehive Credit Union in June 2006, only to continue working there part-time until June 2009. Married Joan Mackay; later divorced. Married Judith Judy Kyte Ratcliffe February 1, 1963. Together they raised three sons.
