So sorry to hear about Barry’s passing. My condolences to the Hanser’s and all the extended family. Barry was a good person, a gentle soul and had a great sense of humour. I miss our weekly drives up north. The girls at the office will be heartbroken. We still and will always continue to refer to the 2nd office room as Dr Hanser’s op. All be well.

Be still…. · I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect. Without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you. For an interval. Somewhere. Very near. Just around the corner. All is well.

This is very sad news, indeed. Barry was my dentist for over 45 years. He took such great care of me. His parents Gwen and Sam, his aunt and uncle, Vi and Dave Rotish, and my parents Anne and Max Gordon were great friends for many, many decades, having met when we all took cottages at Jackson's Point in the 1950's. My condolences to all members of the Hanser family, and extended families. He will be missed.

Dr. Hanser was unforgettable, with his special gift for making you feel as though you were the most important person in the room. His sense of humour always helped lighten even the most serious situation and bring it back into perspective. If kindness was a game of Poker, he sat solidly with a royal flush. I send my sincere condolences to his family: may your many treasured memories of him ease your mourning.

We were just talking about him Friday and of the wonderful memories I will forever carry forward in my heart.

JoAnn Cheryl and I will always remember the incredible way you two could "cut a rug" at the annual Christmas dinner for work and the obvious love for life and each other we saw in your eyes.

With heartfelt sympathy to JoAnn and family on the loss of our dear cousin Barry. For so many years our family and Barry's including Auntie Gwen, Uncle Sam @ Mark were so closely tied it was as though we were one. Cherished memories live on from those years. How exciting it was for Maxine and I to sign the appointment book at his new office among Barry's first patients following his graduation from dental school. His expertise and skill is reflected in our children's smiles. Marvin and I will truly miss Barry with his kind, caring, genuine nature and sense of humor and of course dimpled smile. He will not be forgotten. With love, Brenda and Marvin.

My deepest Sympathy Joanne and family. He will be missed ! I prefer to celebrate his life rather than grieve his passing. He had such an incredible life. I know this because he often spoke of how grateful he was for his wonderful children and grandchildren and great grandchildren ., and his loving wife Joanne. I know he felt blessed in life! To me he was a kind gentle and caring human being and always made me feel comfortable He was my dentist for 62 years I especially loved how he was a perfectionist in his in his profession as Doctor of Dentristy. I have the most beautiful teeth today because of him. I will always remember Dr. Hanser and am grateful to have known him and to have had him as my dentist. May the love from family and friends give you strength With love Christa Longdon

I was just thinking of Dr. Hanser and looked him up, and sadly saw this obituary. He was my dentist for over 20 years until his retirement about 1-1/2 years ago. How wonderful he was able to do the job he loved for such a long time! A kind and gentle man, and an excellent dentist. My sincere condolences to his family on your loss.
