Superseding that was his employment with Allied Security, where he worked as a Shift Manager for over 20 years. No matter where he worked, he built strong relationships and was beloved by his staff.
During his life, Hans took pleasure in the simple things, namely nature and family. He chose to plant his roots, with both his home and his precious trees in Lake Wynonah, a private, gated community in Schuylkill County, PA. It was there that he met his wife Wendy, who became and integral part of his life for the past 26 years. He was also an avid motorcycle rider, enjoying riding both alone or within a group. His participated in many rides for charity and took pleasure in the open air admiring the mountains, lakes and houses. He also loved his vehicles and could often be found working to keep them clean and maintenanced.
Hans loved his family and was an active and engaged father who was only a phone call away. Though he lived a distance elsewhere, he was always available, and would drop everything in a heartbeat to get where he needed to be. He was a selfless man who cared very deeply.
