"It has been a profound pleasure to have known such a man as devoted to our community. He has been a guiding light for so many years. Having known and respected him for over fourth years I can say he will be greatly missed. Hans 3rd please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family. Randy Hardee

It was such an honor to be part, as an appointed official, of his administration of the new Consolidated and to support him for Governor. His presence and his decision making made him the right man at the right time. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. In later years, I always enjoyed visiting with him. He was a man of his time, which I think is a compliment he would appreciate. Rest in Peace, Mayor

Hans,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Debbie and your entire family.  It has been a long time since I've seen you but I felt the need to reach out because your dad was a great man for our town and the thought of him brings back many memories of much earlier, happy times. Take care and find peace in the knowledge of what a wonderful person your father was.

To Hans, Debbie, and your entire family we send our respect, sympathy and love. Hans was a giant in the life of our hometown and our community. He was very proud of you all as well. I am certain of that. In this time of sadness and grief you are in our thoughts. It has been many years but I don't forget good friends. Take care..
