Acknowledgement

Für die überwältigende Anteilnahme so vieler Menschen, die uns ihre Verbundenheit zum Ausdruck brachten – sei es durch liebevolle Worte, Karten, Blumen und Spenden – möchten wir herzlich danken. Es ist tröstend zu erfahren, wie viel Liebe, Freundschaft und Wertschätzung Hansruedi in seinem langen Leben erfahren durfte. Einen besonderen Dank richten wir an Diakon Philipp Rüdiger, für den würdevollen Gottesdienst sowie an Claudia Meier-Cotti, für die besinnliche Musik mit Lichtblick. Wir danken auch Dr. Patrick Wagner für die langjährige ärztliche Betreuung. Lieber Hansruedi, du fehlst uns sehr – doch in unseren Herzen lebst du weiter. Steinmaur, im September 2026
