Alan P. Hans

Alan P. Hans, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend, passed away peacefully at his home in Mt. Laurel, NJ, on March 28, 2025, at the age of 88.
Alan shared 61 years of partnership and devotion with his beloved wife, Betty (née Wutzer). Together, they raised two sons which were their pride and joy. He is survived by his wife, Betty, his sons, Alan Jr. (daughter-in-law, Patty), Ken (daughter-in-law, Liz), and his six grandchildren Emma, Kate, Charlotte, Alex, Addison and Billy. Alan treasured his grandchildren, beamed with pride at their accomplishments, and instilled in them the values of love, laughter and importance of family. He is also survived by his sister, Irene Mlodzinski, as well as many loving extended family members and friends.
After serving his country with honor in the US Marines, Alan attended Drexel University, where he furthered his education and forged lifelong friendships as a member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity. His dedication to service shone brightly during the 1970s when Alan, with his wife, Betty, became very active members of the Jaycees/Jayceettes, with both serving as presidents of their local chapter and contributing to numerous initiatives that benefited their community.
Alan brought joy to his family and friends in many ways. He often found himself the center of attention in social gatherings and was an excellent story and joke teller. He had a natural ability to captivate an audience, entertaining all with tales of his youth and life experiences. His role as family cinematographer captured countless precious moments, preserving memories that will continue to bring joy for generations to come. Alan's basement was a hub of friendly competition, where he could often be found shooting pool or throwing darts. An excellent bowler who threw countless 200+ games, Alan's competitive spirit was matched only by his encouragement and support for those he played with. His love for sports extended to being an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, Sixers, and Phillies, where his enthusiasm for his hometown teams were both intense and infectious.
Above all, Alan cherished his family's passions and activities. He loved attending performances of his children and grandchildren, athletic and artistic alike, celebrated their successes as their biggest cheerleader, and served as an unwavering supporter of their dreams and ambitions.
