Hans G. Schuh

Hans G. Schuh, of Petersburg, VA, formerly of Cheektowaga, NY, passed away after a life filled with love, dedication, and service. He was married for 58 years to the love of his life, Margit Schuh, and together they built a legacy of family, kindness, and commitment.

Hans proudly served his country 22 years active duty, and was honorably discharged as a Retired Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army, including four tours in Vietnam. After his military service, he continued serving in the federal government, retiring after 30 years as a Lead Budget Analyst in the Civil Service. He later worked as an IT specialist at St. Leo's College.

A man of remarkable intellect and perseverance, Hans earned an Associate's, Bachelor's, and Master's degree in the arts and business. He was deeply involved in his community, known as a beloved youth soccer and T-ball coach for several years.

Hans was a man of many passions. He was a stellar soccer player and an avid collector of stamps and coins. He enjoyed fishing with his son, loved to garden, and found joy in grilling, working with his hands, and was an avid lover of dogs.

Above all, Hans was devoted to his family. He was madly in love with his wife, Margit, and was a devoted father, Opa, and great-Opa. He is survived by his sons, Frank Schuh and wife, Christy, of Dinwiddie, VA, and Gerald Rubener, of Petersburg, VA; grandchildren, Lexi Schuh, Kaci Schuh, Matthew Schuh, and Brandi Harrison and husband, Jay Harrison; and great-grandchildren, Everleigh Wright and Anakin Harrison. He is also survived by his sisters, Hilde Bonhotal and Irma Unger; his favorite nephew, Jake Bonhotal; and niece, Mindy Grey, all of New York.

Hans was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Margit Schuh; his brother, Joe Schuh; his mother, Hildegard Unger; and his father, Ernst Schuh.

A memorial and celebration of Hans's life will be announced once arrangements are made.
