A man of quiet generosity and with a great sense of humor, Harold Hansen was never one to flaunt or be frivolous with money. Many family members received help through his generous gifts over his life time. Harold and Lois Hansen were always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, and had a very soft spot for helping animals. Through planned giving by the Hansens, an eternal legacy was left to the residents of Lethbridge and southern Alberta to help support community projects.

Harold Hansen was born in Lethbridge on January 23, 1932 and passed away September 15, 2006. His family owned and operated the Castle Hotel, now known as the Castle Apartments. Harold worked for Time Air in its infancy and later, along with his brother Charlie, managed the Castle and other revenue properties in the city. After the passing of his mother, the Castle was sold and Harold owned and operated a car wash on 5 Ave. N. for several years. His wife, Lois Marie Clifton, worked for Alberta Government Telephones until her retirement.
