Dearest Don, With love and happy memories - you were a very kind and caring man and were always lots of fun. Think of you a great deal. xx

You have left a big hole in my life and I don't know how I'm going to fill it. My Sundays will never be the same again. Love and miss you terribly and father I hope your not dripping oil everywhere up there.
Lots of love Bridget xxxx

A true close friend and a warm, humorous, hard working, fun loving man with an exceptional talent!!! Don I will miss you greatly especially hearing your early life stories (your time in the Paras and early antics) + your spontaneous visits for a coffee and chat!! R. I. P. my good friend.. the clifftop walk at Lulworth will forever be yours! x

The world will be a duller place without Donald Hansford.
Funny, kind, generous and a little bit crazy. Grandad you were one in a million.
It makes me so sad that you are no longer with us and that I didn't get the chance to spend more time with you but the memories I have with you are precious.
I have a vivid memory of a short but very important conversation with you that will remain with me for a lifetime when you told me " you have to do what makes you happy".
You imprinted on so many people's lives and were all very lucky to have known you.
Everyone needs to be a little bit Don Hansford.
Thank you for everything but most importantly, for being you.
Love you Grandad, sleep tight.
