Passing of Long Time WEST Lap Swim Member Richard Hanson

Nick Chevalier

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of one of our regular lap swim members, Richard Hanson. If you ever visited to pool on a weekday morning, there is a good chance you were greated by Richard. He has been swimming daily at WEST for the better part of the last 20 years and he always took the time to learn everyone's name and take interest in their lives. He will certainly be missed around the pool. 

You can read his obituary here and there will be a graveside service in Kent, WA on Wednesday 1/11.
