died Dec. 31 from mesothelioma, a cancer that affects the lungs. He was 66.
The Lake Oswego resident, civic leader and former CEO and founder of Hasson Company Realtors was diagnosed 10 years ago with a malignant tumor caused by inhaled asbestos fibers, according to his family.
Hasson, who was a competitive athlete in high school, prepared himself physically and mentally to take on the cancer and defied the one-year prognosis for 10 years, said his brother, Barry Hasson.
“He endured surgeries and treatments without self pity,” said Barry Hasson, a builder, who does not know how his brother was exposed to asbestos. “He won battle after battle but sadly lost the war.”
