Hans loved planning lunch and dinner outings with his friends who he spoke about constantly with the greatest admiration. He had a gift of showing excitement over the simplest things, which is hard to match. Hans was a great gardener and loved to share his crop. He also enjoyed making the best spaghetti and clam sauce, a great batch of pancakes, having a glass of Bombay Sapphire, watching the Food Network, old movies, The Sopranos and re-runs of MASH, fishing, traveling, telling stories and sitting on his back porch spending quality time with his loved ones.
