I am the Granddaughter of Dave Hanner, the oldest of all Grandchildren. I have grown up in a football family and have so much love and respect for the game! I would love any information and stories anyone could share with me. If I could go back in time for one day it would be to see him play!

In the late 1950s, my family lived on the first floor of a house on Maple Street in Green Bay, and one season Dave Hanner and his family rented the upper unit. I remember Dave and my father sitting out on the front porch while my siblings played with the Hanner kids.
I seem to recall being fascinated watching Dave roll his own cigarettes.

I remember watching Hawg play the day after he had his appendix removed. He was amazing that day and played the entire game. That's my fondest memory of Dave "Hawg" Hanner.

My father, Pete Tinsley played for the Green Bay Packers in 1938-45. Dad and Dave Hanner became very good fishing buddies when Dave and Jane bought their summer home on Keyes Lake in Florence, WI. There are endless stories that I could tell about the two of them fishing and exchanging insights about the world. My father and mother always regarded Dave and Jane as dear friends and my husband, son, daughter and I feel the same. They are good folks!!! My son, Alan Christian teaches at Arkansas State and is always proud to tell people that he gave Dave's daughter Holly a very rough summer when she was our live-in babysitter for one summer when he was going into 8th grade.
