John F. Hansen, 74, died on March 8 in Normal, Ill.

During his time at ISU, he authored 39 publications, mostly in the area of oxazoline compound synthesis and characterization. His first love was always teaching, and he truly enjoyed teaching organic chemistry at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. John retired from ISU in 2013. In retirement, he continued to be an avid user of the Constitution hiking trail.”—Craig C. McLauchlan, colleague
