I am the occupational therapist who was working with Hans at St.Joes (I slipped in a few minutes late at the family conference last Friday).I just wanted to say how very sorry I was to hear that Hans passed away. I thought he was doing well and was quite shocked. He was such a gentleman and I enjoyed working with him. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Onkel Hans was my godfather, my father’s childhood friend, his business partner, and much more to our family.
As children we would always be so excited about going to his house, looking at the fish he kept in his tanks, swimming in the pool, going out sailing with him at Fanshawe Park, and many more experiences that were special and joyful.
Joe and I are deeply saddened by his passing, and regret that we will not be able to attend the funeral. Our hearts go out to everyone in the family, especially Renate, Michael, Lori, Jamie, as well as the many friends who knew and loved him.

Dear Mike & Lori –
Doug & I will be unable to offer our condolescences in person, but want you to know that our thoughts are with you and your family at this time. It’s never easy to say goodbye to a Dad, but rest assured that he is being well looked after where he is, and that he will always be with you in your memories. Don’t be afraid to talk about him to all who will listen! It will keep him forever in your thoughts.
Dear Mike and Lori:
I will always remember Onkel Hans as part of the happy experiences of my childhood. It was a Sunday tradition to have coffee and torte with Onkel Hans and Tante Ursula. (even though I was afraid of Bodo, the German Shepherd). I can vaguely remember back to the days of the mink farm, and then later, vividly remember the house in London. Our families had many fun times together, including afternoons at the beach at Ipperwash and the Pinery, and then in the backyard pools. We always visited on Christmas day, and I remember one year, when I was about 5, when Onkel Hans became St. Niklaus. I always looked forward to seeing Onkel Hans, because he liked to laugh, and enjoyed life so much.
Your dad and mine shared a very special bond, not only working together, but as lifelong friends. They supported each other through the tough times of coming to a new country, in difficult circumstances. They shared so much, both happy and sad.
Although we will miss him very much, we will celebrate the good memories we have.
Our sincere sympathy to Hans
family. We knew Hans for many
years as a fellow sailor at
Fanshawe Yacht Club.
Renate and family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you , we remember the many laughs and good times we had together.
We both wish you strength in the coming times ahead.
Erika & Ray.
