Plantation

 William “Bill” Hansen of Plantation, Florida passed on February 8, 2025. Born Sept. 6, 1929 in NJ, he served in the Navy aboard three different ships during the Korean War. He saw action throughout the Pacific and was honorably discharged with two Battle Stars and four distinguished service medals. 

Following his service to our country, Bill moved to Florida, and he has lived in his current home in Plantation since 1963.

He eventually retired after working for 28 years for Sears as one of the greatest appliance repair men who ever lived. In fact, if it was electrical or mechanical, he could fix just about everything.  

When he wasn’t working or taking care of his family, he was an avid fisherman and boating enthusiast. 

He is survived by Joan, his beloved wife, 4 daughters, 7 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great granddaughter.  

Bill’s boat has now moved on to where the line never tangles, the bait is always fresh and the sea is always calm.

He will be laid to rest in Sheridan Michigan. 

The family asks in lieu of flowers, that a donation be made in Bill's name to your favorite charity or to T2T.org - a charity helping veterans and first responders.
