Denny Hansen

Pat Rogers · April 11, 2005, 05:26 AM

Denny's house burned down yesterday morning. He escaped, dragging his 4 year old grandson through the burning house. Two of his 4 dogs also escaped- two perished in the blaze.
He lost about everything else.
Rich Lucibella has flown out to Az to assist. he won't be answering too may questions re subscriptions for a while.

buzz_knox · April 11, 2005, 07:22 AM

Pat, when you next speak with Denny, please convey my condolences and let him know he'll be in my prayers.

garrettwc · April 11, 2005, 10:36 AM

Ditto what Buzz said.

If there is anything the TFL family can do to help, please let us know.

I have also posted a link at THR since Denny is well known over there as well.

VaughnT · April 11, 2005, 10:37 AM

Best to all, that's surely one of the worst events that a fellow could experience. Let us know if we can help.

**Rich Lucibella** · April 11, 2005, 11:21 AM

Pat-
Thanks much for the notice here.

What we have is an enormous loss, including two dogs, a number of fifth generation firearms, a lifetime of memorabilia, and the entire editorial history and contacts list for SWAT. But Denny averted was an enormous tragedy. He, Chris and Ashley are handling this far better than I would. TFL Rob drove out from Valhalla last night with Evie. Nancy's following me out from FL with a computer.

First orders of business will be to find housing, get his phones back and get him back up to speed on business.

Thanks for all the support. Denny will be back before you know it.
Rich

Pat Rogers · April 11, 2005, 11:25 AM

Copy Rich.
Glad you will be with him.
My heart goes out to him, and i wish him well through what will be a very hard time.
Please call if i can be of any assistance.

KSFreeman · April 11, 2005, 11:49 AM

How horrific.

HankL · April 11, 2005, 12:28 PM

If there is anything us grunts can do let us know.

Hank, Standing By.

Brian Dale · April 11, 2005, 12:30 PM

Glad that the people got out. Two dogs lost: that's hard news to read. And all of their stuff; damn.

Thoughts and prayers from here.

added: what HankL said.

OF · April 11, 2005, 12:34 PM

Unreal. Stay strong, Denny.

God bless you and your family. You will be in our prayers.

Denny,
Thoughts and prayers sent .

dasmi · April 11, 2005, 01:45 PM

I'll be praying.
If there is anything we can do, money, food, whatever, let us know.
On a related note, I've been touched at how tight the TFL and THR families are.

denfoote · April 11, 2005, 03:29 PM

Where in Arizona does he live?
I am not in a position to help financially, but I might be able to drive out and help with the clean up or something!!

USP45usp · April 11, 2005, 04:50 PM

Wow, that is bad news

. I'm thankful that everyone got out and at least two of the critters made it out.

Fire is my worse nightmare.

Lennyjoe · April 11, 2005, 09:59 PM

I'm with denfoote on this one. Let us know if you guys need any help. We can be there lickety split.

444 · April 11, 2005, 10:59 PM

If there is ANYTHING I can do, I am here for him.
I am off for the next couple days and am only a few hours away.
I only met Denny briefly one time, but that was enough for me to consider Denny to be one of the good guys.

BillCA · April 11, 2005, 11:10 PM

Denny,

Losing your papers, guns and even memorabilia hurts; losing beloved pets hurts even more. Thank the Lord we do not need to say prayers for you and the other family members. We are all thankful that the you all made it out alive and well. We pray for your beloved pets and for you and your family to recover from your loss.

Ask for what you need. No doubt TFL members will find a way to help.

God Bless!

**Rich Lucibella** · April 12, 2005, 12:09 AM

I won't speak for Denny, but I know him pretty well. He won't take your money. He's insured and he'd insist on making up any shortfalls on his own. What may be needed however is legwork help. Currently there's four of us here and we're handling things pretty well. I am concerned about the guns and chances of salvaging.

I hope to have him up on his new computer tomorrow and he'll post for himself.
Rich

denfoote · April 12, 2005, 06:41 AM

We will be waiting to hear from him!!!

Jamie Young · April 12, 2005, 07:29 AM

I'm glad you're alive Denny!

RWK · April 12, 2005, 09:23 AM

Denny,

You and your family are in my prayers. If you need anything -- and I mean it -- just let me/us know.

Respectfully - Roy

npcolin · April 12, 2005, 01:40 PM

Denny, hope you will be alright and everything will be back on track ASAP.

NSO_w/_SIG · April 12, 2005, 01:43 PM

I feel for him, A guy I work with just went through the same thing ......house burned up, lost his pets and all the unreplaceable stuff but him and his family made it out safely. Hope that he lands on his feet and makes out alright.

sjstill · April 12, 2005, 05:25 PM

Will be praying for strength & speedy recovery for you all out there.
