Dear father of Erica (Schroeder) Payne (Tim), Rosa Schroeder (Gordon Force), Nancy Schroeder and John Schroeder.

Survived by his siblings Rudolph (Angela), Geni (Leo), Adolf (Ingrid), Wanda (Hinz), Peter (Thea) all from Germany.

Predeceased by his parents Adolf and Helene (Arndt) Schröder and sibling Willhelm Zschache all from Germany.

Hans came to Canada in his early 20's with little money and lots of ambition. He traveled around North and South America before settling in Canada. He soon sought work in small engines and millwright and handyman at home. He could fix anything! Hans loved the outdoors, bbq's and fishing especially in the Algonquin area. If he wasn't up North, he was working on his cars and trucks. It was nothing for him to take it apart and put it back together again. Gifted with many skills, another past enjoyment was his love for making wine so much so that he even built his own wine press and a motorized crusher to precrush his grapes. And the wine was raved by all. Bottoms up!

We love and miss you dearly!

Special thanks to all the PSW's, nurses and doctors who helped Dad with care and compassion.
