About Hancy Manufacturing
Hancy Mfg. Company began in Eugene Oregon by Raymond Hancy. Ray, who has
been a signpainter for over 40 years, has had several inventions patented
and the idea came for a Pounce Pad when some coworkers were asking him how
he comes up with his ideas. His reply was "you just try to pay attention to
things that annoy you" He happened to be at his work bench at the time and
his eyes fell on the infamous "nasty bag". He picked it up and said "like
this". The seed was planted. The idea developed into the Han-See Pounce
Pads.
Ray Hancy sold the business after a few years to his daughter and
son-in-law, Mike and Marilyn Deas because running Hancy Mfg. was becoming
too much of a full time job instead of just something to do in his
semi-retirement. Mike and Marilyn Deas live in Northern California where
they never tire of their beautiful view of Mt. Shasta. Sadly, Ray Hancy passed
away February 1, l999. He is sorely missed.
