Rufus F. Hansford, Sr. of Campbellsville, son of the late “W. L.” Hansford and Ruby Garrison Hansford, was born October 23, 1939 in Casey County, Kentucky. He died at 11:40 A.M., Wednesday, February 20, 2019 in Campbellsville. Age: 79

He professed faith in Christ and was a member of Robinson Creek Baptist Church.

The son of a farmer and real estate speculator, he had professed early on that he wanted to be a truck driver. His father could see his path leading to auctioneering as Rufus was mimicking the auctioneers as early as age five. On Fridays at Jacktown Elementary, he held an auction featuring the lost pens and pencils and his talents grew until he began to win state FFA contests at the state fair as a teenager in 1957. Only two weeks into a summer job as the pull boy for American Tobacco Company in South Carolina, Rufus filled in for an ill auctioneer. In 1959, he began employment as an auctioneer with Kessler & Cowherd Auction & Real Estate Company and in 1960, he joined the Kentucky Auctioneers Association, with which he served on many committees, boards and even as president in 1984, he was inducted into the KAA Hall of Fame and was awarded the Champion Bid Caller. In 1970, he founded the Hansford Auction & Real Estate Company. From 1981-1986, he was a finalist in the World Tobacco Auctioneer Championship and in 1987, he was the second runner up. Rufus’ career continued on with many awards, trophies, memorable moments and numerous communities served around Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

He united in marriage to Doris Jones December 29, 1990.

He is survived by his wife, Doris Hansford of Campbellsville; two sons: Frankie Hansford (Connie) and Robert “Bam” Hansford (Angela) of Campbellsville, two step-children: Mitchell Jones of Campbellsville and Connie Edelen (Tony) of Bardstown; six grandchildren: Cody Gowin, Weston Jones (Hannah), Macaela Roz Hansford and Logan Hansford of Campbellsville, Ryan Shuffett (Lindsey) of Greensburg and Raina Brooke Simpson (Dustin) of Somerset; seven great-grandchildren; three sisters: Genevieve McKinley of Leitchfield, Shirley Holt of Cox’s Creek and Faye Close (Russell) of Indian Harbour Beach, Florida; several nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends.

He was also preceded in death by one son, William Harold Hansford May 18, 1966; one grandson, Morgan Jones and two brothers and three sisters: Louis Kenneth Hansford, Joseph Russel Hansford, Ida Belle Collins, Geraldine Henshaw and Bobby Jean Glasscock.

TO ALL AUCTIONEERS

If you have been around the KAA for a few years or know much history of Kentucky auctioneers you have heard the name Rufus Hansford. It is with great sadness I report the passing of this legend today, February 20, 2019. Not only was he a delight to meet and talk with, he was a Kentucky State Champion Auctioneer, A World Champion Tobacco Auctioneer, Past President of the KAA, Member of the KAA Hall of Fame, and a KAA Lifetime Achievement winner.

Arrangements are incomplete at this time, but will be forwarded as available.

Sincerely,
Charles Whitley, Executive Director

What a great weekend! If you missed the 62nd Annual Convention of the KAA you missed an opportunity to complete your CE; get information on contracts to keep you out of court; how to construct an online auction; how to make money doing benefit auctions; and table discussions covering 4 important topics, a highly competitive bid calling contest, an hour each of invaluable information from 7 auction legends and the KBA Board, and visiting with a hundred of your closest friends!
Put February 7-9, 2020 on your calendar now so you won’t miss next year! ... See MoreSee Less
