Obituary for Westford "Wes" Hannan
Westford (Wes) Milton Hannan, 79 of Greene, passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early morning hours of Saturday, October 28, 2017 at the Hospice House in Auburn, after a long courageous battle with chronic lung disease. Born on April 12, 1938, he was the son of Chester “Fes” and Alma Hannan.
Wes grew up in Union, Maine and graduated from Union High School in 1956. He was a former member of the Elks Lodge in Santa Barbara, California and the Santa Barbara Masonic Lodge #192 F and A.M.
Wes held various careers over the years, delivering milk for Round Top Dairy, cutting meat and managing stores for First National Stores, owned and operated the Four Winds Restaurant in Boothbay Harbor and managed several other restaurants in the Santa Barbara, California area. In the later part of his career, he was employed as a tour bus driver for Santa Barbara Air Bus in Santa Barbara, California where he lived for several years.
Wes so enjoyed spending time with his family and family pets. He was an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan. He enjoyed playing on his laptop computer and watching shows on his big screen TV. He was a self-taught computer and DirecTV guru, and in earlier years he was an avid golfer.
Wes will be very sadly missed by his son, Mark Hannan and his wife Dawna of Greene of whom he lived with for the past 10 years; son, Milton Hannan and wife Tammy of Las Vegas, Nevada; son, Brett Hannan and his long-time companion Yvette Martin of Crystal River, Florida.

Great-granddaughters, Peyton Hannan, Elyssa, Jennifer & Sarah Manning, Alexandria & Nova Burson, Mia Lopez and great grandsons, Ian Manning and Ryder Raffta.
