In Remembrance – Byron Hanson

Byron Hanson passed away September 10, 2008 due to complications arising from his six month battle with lymphoma cancer.

Byron was the friendly voice you heard when you called L&M's Technical Department. His depth of experience and unique presentation of solutions helped companies with both large and small projects.

Byron's positive, solution-orientated style and light-hearted approach cut through the sometimes-serious problem solving nature of the concrete business. His honest and direct method of communication was refreshing and effective.

Byron served our customers since 1980. He was L&M's resident, inside concrete expert. Customers relied on Byron when a problem arose or technical assistance was needed.

Byron was active in the ASTM committee work and an long-time member of his local ACI chapter. Byron quickly and professionally helped thousands of concrete professionals solve many field problems.

Byron Hanson was a giant of a man; a man who loved his family dearly; a loving caring friend who did much to improve this world of ours through his caring and wise touch. We who were privileged to know him well are possibly more blessed by his presence in our lives, but as a consequence we will miss him all the more. Whether you knew him for years or for minutes, he left a positive impression on you, and in many ways you were a better person, concrete professional, or friend because of it.

Byron will be missed by his co-workers, friends from the industry, and his family. God speed.
