Mark Stuart Hansen passed away peacefully at home on January 8, 2015. He was born on July 31, 1935 at Fort Lincoln, North Dakota to Otto M. Hansen and Gertrude DeBruyn Hansen. His siblings were Frank, David, and Elizabeth.
Mark graduated from Clover Park High School, Lakewood, Washington in 1953, and then enrolled at the University of Washington, where he graduated with a B.A. in industrial engineering and business in 1957. During his college years he was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity and Army ROTC.
Mark was engaged to Joanne Dolores Fraser in the summer of 1956, and they were married just before Mark's graduation on June 1, 1957.
The couple soon traveled to Fort Benning, Georgia, where Mark undertook officers' training. Upon completion of the course, he and Joanne moved to Fort Ord, California, where Mark trained recruits in basic infantry skills. He continued to serve in the Army Reserve for several years afterward.
On July 1, 1957 Mark was offered a job by the Boeing Company, and they offered to hold the position while Mark was training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Upon their return, Mark and Joanne built a new home in Tacoma, and Mark commuted to Renton where he was a group supervisor for five years. He advanced to the C5A cargolift team, and then the SST program at Boeing Field.
His next assignment was the 747 program where he was a supervisor overseeing several engineering groups. His increasing responsibilities included Modification and Change Board Manager, Total Factory Methods Manager Industrial Engineering, Modifications and Executive Airplane Manager and Senior Program Manager Model 747/767 Programs. He helped introduce the model 767 in the early 1980s at Everett.
At the peak of his career he managed up to 2000 working personnel. The largest successful task was the design, build and structural replacement modification of 850 Model 747s.
His expertise in modifications and executive airplane programs required a lot of travel. Executive programs completed in travel mode were Saudi Arabia (two programs), Abu Dhabi, UAE, Oman, Govt. of Japan (two programs), U.S. Presidential airplane, and Brunei. Major modifications programs were from all over the world, including All Nippon Airlines, Northwest, Iberia, Iran, Israel, Japan Airlines, TWA, NA, CO, and Pan American. Other countries involved included Pakistan, India, Cambodia, Australia, Thailand, Laos, Israel, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Spain, Italy, Dubai, Germany, England, UAE, Qatar, Columbia, France, and of course the United States.
Mark's associations during his career were the BMA (Boeing Management Association), Reserve Officer Association (ROA), Edmonds Yacht Club, Richmond Beach Congregational Church, Klahaya Swim Club, and Loaned Executive Program to the UGN public sector.
Mark called his family the "mainstay of existence". Twin sons, Glenn and Greg, were born on February 2, 1963 and daughter, Gayle, came along on October 23, 1966. Mark was involved with the boys in Y Indian Guides, soccer and baseball umpiring, swimming (timer for swim meets), and he served as Assistant Scout Master for their BSA troop. He also supported Gayle in her Girl Scout activities, track, and swimming. Other family activities included boating, fishing, camping, and skiing.
Mark retired from Boeing in 1993. He and Joanne moved to Anacortes in 1997 and built a home in 1998. He began volunteering for the Sunrisers Kiwanis service club, the Visitors Information Center for the Chamber of Commerce, and helped with siding and finish work for a major addition at the United Methodist Church of Anacortes. He also participated in the Fidalgo Yacht Club and enjoyed playing golf and gardening (especially growing vegetables and experimenting with tomatoes in the greenhouse) and taking senior learning classes through Western Washington University.
He took Joanne all over the world (Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific Islands), showing her places he had traveled for business, plus destinations that were new to him.
Mark's special joy was his seven grandchildren: J.R., Nicholas, Chase, Tanner, Zachary, Austin, and Aidan; and great-grandchildren: Ezekiel and Izabelle. He was proud to share in their lives and activities.
Mark is survived by his loving wife, Joanne; sons: Glenn (Sue) and Greg (Anita); daughter, Gayle (Brad; plus grandsons and great-grandson and great-granddaughter named above.
