So sad it's taken this many years to find out about Hans' passing. My deepest condolences to the family. I first met Hans in 1971 when Tony Lozada introduced us. Now both are gone. Tony passed away in Texas some years ago.
Farewell old friend, you are missed.

I was saddened to hear of Hans' passing. He was a dear man with a great sense of humor. I'll never forget the Great Parties at the Bugle with Hans, David and the "Family". Nor will I forget the visits to our store on Main Street in Stroudsburg when he always had those Martini's to go.. Gloria and Stevens "tini's" they were great. God Speed our old friend and deepest sympathies to David and Families'.

I'm so sorry to hear of Han's passing, he was always kind and compassionate during difficult times in my life. May his memories always be fond ones and the sounds of his laughter remain with you. I still remember the song on the juke box "Sailor" which I still sing from time to time. I miss those days and will always remember Hans.
