Oh my friend Greg. So many great memories living down the street from you, watching our kids grow up together. Your smile was so contagious – never a bad day. Eventhough distance has separated us for many years, crossing paths in the hallways of Abbott brought back old times and great memories – and the smile had only gotten bigger. You left a great mark in your Family, your Community and in your Work. You will be missed greatly. We will watch, care and pray for your family.
Your friends

Greg, my friend you will be missed. Thank you for the friendship over the years.
My sincere condolences to the Hansen family. Greg was a great person and will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
To the Hansen family, It was startling news to hear of Gregg’s passing . He will be dearly missed on a personal level . Greg and I worked together a lot on some major shutdowns that requires a lot of personal involved it was amazing how he organized all the task with how many hrs and minutes it took to complete . Also Gregg and I had a competitive side when it came to shaking hands let’s say we would try to crush each other’s hands .I will miss him talking to me about playing baseball telling me how well he played . My prayers are with your family in this time of pain and sorrow
My deepest sympathies to the Hansen Family. Greg was a staple of GES for many years at Abbott and he will be missed by all.
My very sincerest sympathies to the entire Hansen family. Know that he will be deeply missed by those who worked with and for him. Greg was well liked, universally respected, and posessed that rare gift of making those around him feel valued. We lost one of the best; he made us all better…
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Greg’s family during this difficult time. He will be missed by many.
It is with great sadness to hear of Greg’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are for his family. I have worked for Greg at one time. He has been my boss at one time, and he was also my co-worker at other times. I have worked along side of Greg in implementing many engineering projects. He was always a pleasure to work with. May the Lord of Peace, grant peace and comfort to you in this sad time of sorrow.
Lynda and family – I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Greg around 20 years ago. He was a great co-worker and human being, but what I remember the most about him is how much he loved his family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
My deepest sympathy to the Hansen family. I worked with Greg in GES for many years and I could always count on him to provide me with the financial info I needed and to teach me a little bit about the engineering involved in his projects. I remember him talking about his family and it was so clear that you were loved very much by him. May your memories bring you comfort.
So sorry for your loss Hansen Family! Greg was a great guy. I knew him from LZHS. We are all like family since the school was small. I know he will be miss by many past and present. Our deepest sympathy for Lynda and the kids. We his friends will miss him dearly. Many Blessings, Chris and Mark Camera
I am greatly saddened by the news of Greg’s passing. I first met Greg about 30 years ago when I worked at Abbott Park Utilities CED/GES, during that time we shared alot of projects, laughs and accomplishments. We rooted for the Cubs no matter what. I teased him about looking like George Clooney and with his quick wit he stated, “Linda thinks I am more handsome than George.” I was so honored to have shared my time and experiences with Greg. May God hold him close also comfort and bless his family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Hansen family. He was quite a pleasure to be around at work and I could only imagine he was even more of a pleasure to be around for his loved ones. He is missed by many yet has been welcomed by even more.
My deepest condolences go out to the Hansen family. I had the pleasure of working with Greg for a number of years at Abbott. I recall his positive attitude, engaging personality and how he treated everyone with respect. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
