Met Tom and Grace at age 14 at the Golden Fawn Lodge 1959 on a family fishing vacation. Every year after vacations were spent with Tom and Grace. Continued when Tom moved to a new location on Lac Suel. Watched and helped with the construction of the motel,hanger,and misc. projects. I will never forget the opportunity he gave us to spend at his camp, just wonderful people. Families became close and to this day keep in touch with Tom Jr. and Grace. The stories are so numerous that all I talk about is my experience at his camp. Tom will always be remembered. - Posted by: Russell fF. Iwaniec (Friend) on: Nov 15, 2013

I worked as a pilot for Tom for nine years at Lac Seul airways. I lived there with my family for seven of the years. The years working for Tom and Grace were the most memorable of my early aviation career. My family and I were always treated as part of the Hanaway family. Thanks for the memories. - Posted by: Carl Hansson (Friend / Past employee) on: Feb 20, 2012
