I am deeply sorrow for the passing of Hans. I remember meeting Hans and your wonderful family at the wrestling practices of the Indian Valley YMCA. Hans never had an unkind word to say about anyone.

Hans was a good neighbor and a wonderful soccer coach for the girls of Chariho. He was always there willing to help the girls, giving his best and encouraging them on. He always seemed happy and was frindly to all. On occassion he would come by and jump in our swimming pool or plow our snowy driveway as a surprise. May he rest in peace.

Hans was a very pleasant man that I had the pleasure of knowing. He's been a customer of mine for years and I'm very upset to hear of his passing. He always came into Friendly's and had lunch at the front counter and was always very nice. My love and sympathy goes to his family and friends.
