Obituary for Hans Joachim Eilmus Hans-Joachim Eilmus, age 87 years and 8 months, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, passed away peacefully on Christmas Eve from natural causes. Hans was born in Blankenstein, Germany on April 25, 1931. He is survived by his loving wife, Hilke (Moller).

Hans and Hilke would have celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary on News Years Eve. Hans immigrated to the United States in the late 1950’s as an apprenticed tool and die maker. In 1961 Hans and Hilke settled in Enfield where they have lived and raised their family.

In addition to his wife, Hans leaves behind his three adult children; first born son, Andreas, and his beautiful wife, Virginia; his daughter, Wiebke (Simons), and son-in-law, Jeff; and lastly, his youngest son, Niels. What gave Hans that twinkle in his eyes and that extra spark in his step were his grandchildren and his great grand daughter. With much sadness he leaves behind his grandson Aaron Simons and grand daughter-in-law, Valerie.

He leaves behind his beloved grandson, Mathew Simons. He leaves behind his beautiful granddaughter, Hannah Simons, with whom he shares the bluest of eyes. He leaves behind the youngest of his granddaughters, Ayden and Isa Eilmus.

Isa provided hours of comfort to her grandfather with her reassuring voice and the soothing touch of her hand. Lastly, he leaves behind his sweet great granddaughter, Grace Simons. The mention of Grace’s name brought a heartwarming smile to Hans’ face.
