Ron's Family wishes us Bon Voyage




The Cake.


What better way to wish a Bon Voyague than with a British Flag and one that you can eat.


You could say we had our flag, cake and eat it too.

The workmanship was truely amazing. But it was good.











Ron's fathers grave in Kearns Utah. This was memorial day in the U.S. It was a beautiful site. to see. all graves were decorated with flags and flowers.










Ron's dad's grave. He was a Canadian to the end. He never did take out his American citizenship. Ron's mother was an American citizen. The irony is that she (the American) is buried in Magrath Alberta and He (the Canadian) is buried in the United States.










Ron and his sisters Darla (standing) and Carole (sitting) and brother Gordon (sitting). His other brother, Leonard is living in Alabama and couldn't be there.













Gordon and Louise and their family. By numbers they have the largest brood in the Hancock clan and they are sure proud of each one.
















Gordon's car show. The first car I bought after I completed high school was a 1949 chec 2 doar hard top similar to this baby. Mine was a salmon color on the bottom with a cream colar leatheret vinal roof and cream color lether bucket seats inside. I was sure proud of that car. Then I did a stupid thing and traded it in for a new 1965 chev Corvair. The Corvair proved to be a lemon from the start.








Ron's sister Carole and her daughter Kathy Dawn. Carole is the family history expert in our family. Every year Carole looks more and more like her mother. My first thought when we went to her home was of Mom.









In the middle is Ron's sister Darla with husband Frank behind her. Darla is fortune to have all her kids but Frankie live near by. Frankie lives in California where he just become the proud dad of a new baby boy. Darla is the quilter in the family.














For an activity the children beat up a pinata to recover its loot. This is the rewards for a excellent campain. Well done kids.












Ron's sisters Carole and Darla.

We love them both.



Behind are their grandkids playing crocket.






Cousin: Mary and Don Phillips. Two special people in our lives and a major influence in keeping our Hancock family Reunions active.




Mary and Don hope to be the next couple in the family to embark on a mission. Good luck Mary and Don.


Bless you Mary. We love you and thankyou for your support.





Master Cheif Gordon served up a great bargeque.





Thanks Gordon. Lord bless you.











While in Utah it is always a great treat to attend an antique car show with Gordon.





























This is a 1965 Chev Corvair.














The first new car I ever bought was a 1965 Corvair. I truely was the worse car I ever owned. Had the air cooled motor in the rear like a beatle but not a good idea in this car. The motor leaked oil on the manifold right from the start and the heater came from the manifold. The car always smelled and was always needing repairs. During my last year at university the starter went out and I had to get it pushed to start. We made sure it was parked on the hill so we could get a good roll to start it. I traded it in for a 1967 Ford Cortina. It was an economical car but did not like Canadian winters when we returned to Canada.


Gordon and Louis's hobby is antique cars. On most weekends in the summer they are off to a car show somewhere in the intermountain region. Gordon is the president of the local club. This is a picture of his prize posession a Ford Galaxie. This car dose not see much stormy weather and is cleaner than the family car.
