HANSEN, Robert Dewey, 91, of Peninsula, Ohio, passed away peacefully September 13, 2017. Dewey is survived by his wife of 58 years, Marilyn Raddatz Hansen; sons, Bradley (Bowanne) Hansen and Gregory Hansen; and adored grandchildren, Griffen and Allisen. Born in Ishpeming, Michigan on February 10, 1920, Dewey grew up in the Upper Peninsula, Michigan and graduated from National Mine High School in June 1943. After high school he enlisted in the Navy. He was a veteran of World War II where he served on submarine in Connecticut, Hawaii, Philippine Islands and South Pacific [USS O-7, USS Brill]. When the war was over he went on to graduate from Michigan Tech University. Employment eventually took Dewey downstate to Detroit where he met the love of his life while skiing. After having two children a business opportunity moved the family to Peninsula, Ohio in 1968. In 1976 Dewey purchased a plastic manufacturing business, Hudson Extrusions. With many years of hard work, the company thrives as a family business with loyal employees and a commitment to the local community. Dewey always took interest in making the world around him better. Just to name a few ways he served his community: member and chairman of Peninsula Zoning Board, served on Peninsula Village Council, served as Peninsula Village Mayor and President of Boston Northampton Recreation Association and United States Submarine Veterans of WWII-Ohio-N.E. Chapter. Dewey was passionate about skiing and the National Ski Patrol. He was an active member of the NSP for more than 35 years. He was a Patrol Leader of Detroit Metro, Section Chief in Central Division of NSP, Avalanche Instructor, Ski & Toboggan Trainer & Tester and received a NSP national appointment #2550. Dewey spent more than 25 years on the patrol at Holimont Ski Resort in western New York. He made lasting friendships throughout the NSP and passed on the NSP legacy to his sons and love of skiing to his grandchildren. Dewey loved to travel having visited every state in the United States and some foreign countries: Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, Russia, Finland, China, Canada, New Zealand and the Philippines. Dewey was motivated by what was right and spoke passionately about what he believed in. He got down to business quickly when it was time to be serious, but he was mischievous, and loved to make others laugh. Dewey was beloved by all he met and will be missed. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 14th at Christ Church Episcopal, 21 Aurora St., Hudson, Ohio. Friends may call starting at 1 p.m. and The Reverend Charlotte Reed will conduct services at 2 p.m. Those wishing to honor Dewey, may consider a contribution to the Woodridge Foundation (4411 Quick Road, Peninsula, Ohio 44264) of the Woodridge Local Schools where his wife has been a school board member for 38 years.
