My thoughts and prayers to Mary Jane, Rob and Jim.
Dear Mary and the Hanson family,
You are in our prayers. We will always have fond memories of our time and wonderful neighbors on Bradford Circle.
I knew Jim from a Friday tax luncheon that we both attended for over twenty years. I will remember Jim as a true gentleman and friend. He was always the same — kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable and articulate. I will certainly miss him. My condolences to the family at this time of loss.
I had the privilege of spending time as a young attorney with Jim. He was a quite strong force along with Ken Stewart who I also am missing today
We send our most sincere condolences to you Aunt Mary Jane, and to Rob and Jimmy. We will miss Uncle Jim and his gentle manner, and we will cherish the memories we have of times spent together. Much love,
So sorry for your lost. I thought he was a special man whoy showed much kindness to me. And I know how he loved you, Mary.
My sincere sympathy to you, Mary.

Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear about Jim. As my dads law partner and also our family lawyer in the later years, Jim was that person who you could talk to about anything. He was highly respected in the Wichita Community. His gentle manner could defuse any situation. If the world had more individuals like Jim, it would be a much better place to live in. He will not be forgotten. John Hondros.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
