Funeral will be held Tuesday April 7, 2020 at Hansen Funeral Home in Irene SD. In normal times we would have a funeral for everyone to celebrate his life and say our last goodbyes. But times are not normal with COVID-19 which has taken over all our lives! With that in mind along with the safety of everyone’s health and abiding with social distancing, we believe a “Final Goodbye Wave” from the confinement of your own vehicles can be done if you choose.
The daughters’ families will follow Dad to his final resting place in Armour, SD. If anyone wishes to wave goodbye, Dad and his daughters’ families will leave the Hansen Funeral Home around 11:30am and those who follow in will ONLY be allowed to follow to Mayfield store.
In addition, the daughters are requesting no food or flowers. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to St. Patrick’s Church Renovation Fund in Wakonda, SD.
