Hans joined the Society in 1976 and served as its fourth president from 1982 to 1985. It was a period where the Society strengthened its phaleristic profile by publishing a number of books, all characterized by a strong focus on researched sources. This effort has since been maintained and carried forward.It was also during this period that the international relations and cooperation with foreign phaleristic societies became a permanent part of the Society's work.
Hans was the editor of the Society's Journal from 2002 to 2008 and was appointed OMSD Honorary Member in 2017 "for long lasting achievements for the Society as president, editor and author plus an excellent diplomatic effort as the Society's representative".
Hans was a valued member who will be remembered as an orderly, sympathetic and helpful man, who was widely respected both in and outside the Society. He was passionate about the history of orders, to which he himself made a number of contributions. One example that comes to mind is his fine and detailed review of the Society's history which was published as part of the Society's 50-years anniversary celebrations.
He will always be remembered.
