Gary Wayne Hanson, 79, longtime resident of Mt. Iron and formerly of Biwabik, died Friday, Dec. 11, 2020 at Carefree Living in Virginia. He was born July 26, 1941 in Anaheim, Calif., the son of Gordy and Cleo (Anderson) Hanson. Gary was a graduate of Montivideo High School, and earned his Bachelorâs Degree from Bemidji State College. He married Joanne Hanson on Aug. 27, 1966. Gary was known throughout the community for his easy banter, jokes, and quick laughter, whether it was offering a âquarter (quarter quarter)â for picking up that spare at moonlight bowling or finding that particular bolt at Menards. As he was always fond of games, he generally was the first to set up the cards and board games during the Holidays with his family. He enjoyed puzzles, playing Bridge, mowing the lawn, and tinkering in his garage. While everyone who knew him knew that he loved to watch the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoons, many would be unaware that he loved to paint, particularly Bob Ross Style, and the walls of his home were decorated with his original art.
