OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin today issued this statement on the passing of Jon Hansen, a former assistant chief for the Oklahoma City Fire Department who served as the department’s spokesman in the aftermath of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building:
“My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Jon Hansen. Jon was an instrumental figure in Oklahoma City’s recovery from the horrible aftermath of the Murrah building bombing almost 21 years ago. His calm voice reassured everyone who was watching that process with an implied promise that we could overcome the terror of that tragic morning. He personified the Oklahoma Standard before we had even put a name to it. He will be missed.”
