Following the service, family and friends are invited to remain at the hall to share stories, celebrate Steve's legacy, and enjoy time together. Guests are welcome to bring a favorite dessert to share at the reception.
Memorial Contributions

I want to say thank you to everyone who donated and joined us for the Hanford Fraternal Hall’s 75 anniversary dinner last night. It was a huge success.
Special thanks to the directors and their families who stepped up and knocked it out of the park for an amazing evening.

We could not have done it without everyone’s help.

2026-2027 President
