Three-term Idaho Congressman Orval Hansen, who died Nov. 2 at the age of 91, is lying in state in the rotunda of the state Capitol this morning; among those paying their respects so far are Lt. Gov. Brad Little; former Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice Jim Jones; Attorney General Lawrence Wasden; former attorney general and Lt. Gov. David Leroy; Sen. Maryanne Jordan, D-Boise; longtime Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce head Ray Stark; and more.

Hansen will lie in state from 9 a.m. to noon; his family will be on hand to greet those who come to pay their respects. Funeral services will be at St. Michael’s Cathedral, across from the Capitol at 518 N. 8^th St., from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. A reception will be held afterward in the cathedral’s parish hall.

Hansen will be buried later today at Boise’s Pioneer Cemetery in a private family ceremony.

Hansen served three terms in Congress representing Idaho’s 2^nd District; a Republican, he was elected in 1968 and re-elected in 1970 and 1972. He had previously served five terms in the Idaho Legislature, including serving as House majority leader.

An attorney and eastern Idaho native, Hansen was a World War II veteran, a marathon runner and a mountain climber; he published his memoir, “Climb the Mountains,” in 2015. He is survived by his wife, June, seven children, 12 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
