Memories of

Dad (2)

Dave Hanson

Dave Hanson 1939-2021

Our lovely Dad Dave was a great story teller.  Some of you were part of these stories and we would love you to share your fondest, funniest, most signifcant memory that you have of him.  This could be the first thing that pops into your head or you can take a bit of time to think about it.

As we are not able to join together with you to celebrate his life, this book will create a collection of tales and events for us to treasure.

Please make sure that you add your name to your message along with the time and place connected to this special memory.

We are already looking forward reading about his escapades!

With much appreciation

Tania, Janine & Davina (Dave’s daughters)

Hello, for those of you that don’t know me, I am Charlie, Dave’s favourite grandchild! Only joking; but I would say I am definitely the luckiest out of the 6 of us, as I am the oldest so I have shared the most memories with my grandad. And I was also lucky enough to be the only grandchild that met Nina, my grandma too.  I have so many amazing memories with both of them and we spent lots of time together when I was little. Some of my favourite memories with grandad are searching for bugs and any sort of creatures we could find in his garden. I could spend hours doing it as grandad had so many plant pots and rocks that he lifted up for me. My grandad is a huge inspiration to me as he had a big influence on my career choice as I left school. To this day, I am still in a trade because of him, and I was lucky enough to have him watch me fit a radiator when he was staying with us. He had lots of advice to give me but said I did a good job! I wish I …

Hop Pole Lads

Dave was a top guy. Absolute salt of the earth and I always enjoyed being in his company. We often had chats in the Hop Pole about anythingn and everthing. He was always very organised and set in his ways, and ran through what he had prepared for tea!!! A man with an iron handshake, who I always had the utmost respect for. i will miss him immensely. RIP Dave  –  Mark xx   He shared loads of his recipes with me! Great bloke.  – Chris   Dave was a great person – what times missed xx  –  Andy   Forgive the words! He’d be laughing if he read this now! – Every time we met in Hop Pole, our welcoming greeting was, “Are you not dead yet?!” It was greeted with a hug, a handshake and laughter – and it is something that I’ll never forget! – Trust me – he’s laughing right now!  –  Scouse …

Wembley Lads

The all-time strongest handshake – ever! Thank you for living in our time – Bradders xx   Lots of beers, and always with the lovely ‘soft’ handshake when he was saying goodbye!  –  Mike D’Arcy   Dave was a top guy!  –  Abo   Dave was a man you could always rely on. He was one of the ‘old breed’ As one of his darts mates, he was one of the best. –  Ken West   He was mates with my pals Joe Atky and Dennis Leveson. We had great times in Hop Pole – But he would insist on prodding me with his rock hard finger!!  –  Ken …

My memory of Dave will go back 10 years on the Wembley trip. We lost his drinking partner, Frank Denmon on the tube train to Camden. Dave was that concerned, he organised a search party for Frank who was found and Dave gave him a bill for the 2 rounds he’d missed! …

7 Years is a big age gap when you are young, but not so much as young men together. When Vin went to sea first, Dave was 14! But, home from sea with time to kill (as we were not together until he was 26+) the lads had good times! When Vin was 25, he was invalided off a ship in Southampton and transferred to London’s Atkinson Morley Hospital for brain surgery and given 50:50 chance!! He came home to 189, shaven and shaken to convalesce. Peter suggested he smoke!! David suggested they go on a bike ride to London! Two brothers, 1 tandem, 3 gears and ONE brake!! They had to be repaired at Peterborough, having bombed down a hill somewhere! The best was, “We never paid for one drink between Lincoln and London Picadilly because we were both such good darts players!!” Modest! May they go on thinking how good they were at everything together. With Love xx …

I have known Dave for 58 years. We were off Hessle Road, along with Ray Sach, Jimmy Hicks and Bruce Armstrong, and lots more of the Rugby lads. We all went drinking around town. We would also go dancing to Lacarno, Beverley and Withernsea. Most times we would get in for free as most men on the doors played rugby with us. We also had plenty of holidays together: Butlins, Scotland and lots more. I met a girl at Lacarno called Liz. After a couple of weeks, Dave said “Has she got a friend?” So I asked Liz and she said, Yes, Nina. The rest is history – with three lovely daughters. Love Charlie …

I have many memories of your Dad, who was like mine in many ways. I will never forget Sunday Lunches at your house and the fact that we got to drink wine mixed with lemonade – the height of sophistication! Sending you all hugs – Margo …

Noreen and Chris Hunt

Dear Tania, Janine and Davina,  it was with such sadness that we heard of the death of your dear dad David. We grew up together in St Wilfred’s and our families were joined together through Vin and Margaret. Then we got to know your lovely mum, Nina and have a good friendship with her. Your dad will be missed by many people. He was such a nice man, always ready for a laugh! There are no words to take away the pain, but we know you will have many happy memories. …
