Hans Ludwig HAUCK

HAUCK, Hans Ludwig - Hans was a gentle and quiet man whose actions in life spoke loudly to his intelligence, courage, determination, and bottomless love for his family. Hans lived a full life and died with grace and courage when lymphoma made life unlivable . His life began in Nieder-Weisel, Germany on September 3, 1941, and ended in Toronto, Canada on October 23, 2013. At age 25 Hans moved across the Atlantic, where he met his wife and partner Rita, and with her started and operated a successful business as a "Spediteur" (Logistics). Hans adopted the Canadian spirit as a lover of the Canadian wilderness and a downhill skier, a passion he shared with his family. He was a much loved husband, father, and friend. He will be deeply missed by his wife Rita of 39 years, his daughter Tanya, son-in-law Alan Melamud, in-laws Lucy, Ruvim and David, family in Germany, and many friends in Canada and Germany.
