Hans Nielsen

Hans  was   a  very  interesting  and  unique  person.

We had a lot of great talks and fun together. He also was my favorite pinochle partner. I only had the pleasure of knowing him for a few years but they were fun years. He lead a very colorful life, so much so that he wrote a book about his life. You can find it on Amazon and other book sources. The title of  his life store is: “ The Stars Spangled  Viking”  It is very good reading and I would recommend it. Hans tells of growing up in Denmark when the Nazi’s occupied his country and his ventures on his way to and in America.   He had many interesting fun tales to tell.

Hans and I spent many evenings at our church (Wesley United Methodist Church at St. Simons Island)

We were actually waiting for our wife’s (Jeanine & Vivian) to practice with the church choir. But while we  were there I found out just how great Hans was at playing the piano. Next is a Video I took of Hans at church:
