Dear Hanson family,
We want you to know that we are praying for you at this time. Dave was
such a great man, always had love for everyone and was full of life. I am
sitting here remembering countless jokes and good times we had when in
Ecuador. The world, my world, was better because of him. Now, heaven is
enriched. May his memory be blessed forever and may the Lord Jesus Christ
embrace you during this difficult time.
We love you all dearly,
Nathan and Amy Moser

Hello Charlotte and family,
Charlotte, I have been contemplating Psalm 1 recently and I think of David as
a tree planted by a stream of water, a stream such as Carl and I live by here in
Vermont where the trees grow tall and line the stream in a majestic way with
strong roots that go down deep. That to me is a picture of David; those roots
and nourishment in his love of His God produces my memories of David, a
man whose smile was wide, humor was abundant, energy boundless, and love
for his God, his family and the people of Ecuador extraordinary.
Praying for you,
Karen and Carl

I was so sorry to hear of David's passing. We were all looking so forward to
your visit to new Brunswick this month and I am sure he was too. You have
so many memories of your times spent together, so enjoy them. David had a
wonderful life and had a wonderful family. I enjoyed our letters at
Christmastime, all the pictures he was so proud to show of all his children
and grandchildren and his invites to me to visit.

Hi Folks: I am so very sorry to learn of this untimely death. I am shocked
and concerned for all of you. I am deeply saddened and was so looking
forward to seeing David during his intended visit to NB. I at least got a
chance to talk to him one last time and tell him I loved him and it was
wonderful to hear his voice that one last time. It is comforting to know that it
is well with his soul and he is enjoying a wonderful end to his earthly life.
We all loved him here and are sorry we didn't have that last visit. Sincerely
and with love from Canada The entire Hanson family Mildred, Evangeline,
Betty, Margo, Howard, Francis and James. We enjoyed some fun times
together. God bless you all.

David was my only brother, and I loved him dearly!
He and his wife Charlotte were to come here in Maine, and we were going to
Canada to see family members, cousins, etc. Then we would come back to
Maine and stay at our home for a few weeks. We regret that the visit was not
possible. David and Charlotte were devoted missionaries in Equador as well
as here in the USA. Their testimonies have always been to tell others about
Jesus' love for them and how they might ask Jesus Christ to be Lod over their
lives! We thank God that David is already rejoicing in Heaven where he will
have many rewards!

We will miss our brother, David, as he was always loved and admired for his
outstanding love and testimony for Jesus Christ. His life was spent spreading
the Good News of salvation to all people. He will hear WELL DONE in
Heaven. God bless all of his children and especially his wife Charlotte, a
lovely lady who is also a real witness for The Lord Jesus.
Love, Luella T. Knowles

I join with so many others who knew David in offering our deepest sympathy
on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of
some satisfaction to know that in his passing you can celebrate the end of a

very long and productive life. A life that he enjoyed and shared with
everyone. The tales of his travels, his family and his faith are some of his
attributes that we will remember for a very long time. I believe that the
measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what
possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched
and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on his loss is
any indication, and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say
that his indeed was a life well-lived. May you find peace and comfort in
knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him. It seems only
fitting that I should sign my name as follows:

Dave was such a good friend and a big tease!! We always had so much fun
with him; he was one of the good guys! I am very sad that he is gone. I told
Charlotte just last week to tell the "brat" to get out of bed and stop being a
pain to everyone....and he did! Now he's with our Lord and Savior....and he's
all well and good again! We will surely miss him. Blessings to Charlotte
and the family. We will continue to pray for each of you!

never lost faith in his God. He was an inspiration to me to get out there and

I'm so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I remember him fondly from when I
was a young missionary candidate with BCM back in 1998. He amazed me
with his ability to imagine anything, including left-overs, in such delicious
ways. He was so warm, filled with fatherly care and advice. My family and I
will be praying for you as you mourn his loss.

Charlotte,
Me acuerdo de ustedes cuando era yo una nina. I grew up at the Refuge of
the Good Shepard and have great memories with you all. I know that God
will be your comfort during these difficult times. I will be praying for you.
David was a Christ committed servant and was a very happy person. I will
always cherish his charisma and love for Christ.
I understand how your feeling as I have gone through this myself. Just
remember God is your Pastor and Refuge during these very difficult times.
Much love

Charlotte and family,
I just learned of David's passing today from reading the Alumni Update from
the LBC periodical.
I knew Dave from LBC. I remember him bringing little Daniel to class with
him. Daniel would sleep during the lectures, wrapped up in his blanket. I
was always a little bit envious of him because I had to stay awake and take
notes!
One day I was studying in the Library--this was the very old library that had
been a white building from the Esbenshade property. Dave came in and
accidentally dropped whatever it was that he was carrying. Things noisily
spilled all over the floor, interrupting the serious silence of the library. All
eyes turned to Dave! He laughed out loud with a facial expression of
"Oops!" Of course, everyone else had to laugh, too!
I always admired and respected David--and also you, Charlotte. I remember
Dave mentioned that there were some people not willing to commit to
missionary support for your family because you had "too many children"
(according to them) and they seemed to doubt that God would call someone
with five children to the mission field. But He must have, because you did

make it to Ecuador!
I also graduated from LBC in ''77 and went on to serve with TEAM in Irian
Jaya. I always felt a comradeship with Dave and you because we were all
preparing for the mission field at the same time.
May God continue to comfort and encourage you as you adjust to life without
the physical presence of Dave. Oh, but you must have such wonderful
memories! May you find much joy in the memories of your life with David.

Dear Charlotte, Tanya, Liz (Isabelle) and LouanaI was very saddened to learn of David's passing. It's been years since I've
seen you, but I have always have thought of you all with great fondness since
our days in Brooklyn, NY. I will let my sister, Jeanne, who resides near Stone
Mountain, Ga., about David's passing. I reside in Fredericksburg, VA with
my wife Olga. Jeanne and I share our pleasant memories about you all and
wonder how you are all fairing. Please feel free to write, as I would welcome
hearing from you. You and your parents meant a lot to us for the decade we
shared at the Baptist Children's Home.
I was so pleased to know of David's ministry in serving our Lord. I'm sure he
is graced by being in His presence now with his earthly journey completed.
Charlotte, may God bless you and watch over you and your family as you
mourn David's loss. Please give my regards to your brother Robert. My
thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Please write-I'd love to hear from you.
