I'm sorry to report that Hans Masur passed away last week. He was Dorothy Krueger Mansur's husband. Dorothy is the granddaughter of Julius & Selma Schulz Rachuig and Julius & Emile Krueger.
Hans always enjoyed (and helped organize) the Rachuig-Schulz reunions. He wasn't a blood relation, but he was very close to my branch of our family. He's enjoying a heavenly family reunion now.
Hans will be sorely missed. He truly had a servant's heart, exhibiting his gift at every opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed talking to Hans over the years. He once told us about his WWII experiences. A few weeks ago I watched the movie "From Here to Eternity". It reminded me that Hans was stationed at Schofield Barracks on Oahu, the setting of the story. His time there, the months leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, is also the period of the story.
My thanks to Hans and the men who served to preserve our freedom.
