Hans (Johannes Dirk) van Wijngaarden was born on June 30, 1933 in Bevervijk.
From his youth on he stood for humanisme, he denied to follow the call for military service on the principle “do not kill” . By court his military service duty was substituted for work in a hospital in the department roentgenology.

Here he rendered regularly technical support “in the field” to the sales managers of the department S&I Export, particularly in the countries of East-Europe
especially the USSR. Despite the less comfortable working circumstances in those countries he liked this type of operation.   After some time he joint the S&I Export department as full member and became area manager analytical equipment USSR which position he maintained till he left Philips.

With the delivery of electron microscopes to the institutes of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR he was introduced to the scientist Valeria Anders. This encounter proved to be significant for both of them. In April 1990 they married.

After arriving in
Holland, Valeria started to do business with Russia and together with Hans they created the Co.Europack which actively worked with Moscow, Petersburg and Kiev during the period of perestroika.

Being based in Geldrop, Hans and Valeria travelled on business throughout the world from Sydney to Singapore, from Norway to Dubai. They celebrated holidays in trips with their caravan “Caravaler” in the European countries.
Hans and Valeria had open house, there came many friends and there were encounters with interesting people as ex-champion Kuperman, the composer Molchanova, piano-player  Naimark, the artist Sacha Kosin, musicians, journalists, writers and poets.

 The last 5 years Hans van Wijngaarden was editor and sponsor in the project of literary club “Island  Anders” to promote russian writers and poets. Hans & Valeria  published 7 books in the Russian language and they were occupied of translation of some stories into English and French.
Everyone who had the luck to be associate with Hans knows him as a warm person, calm, benevolent  and hospitable. He was an interesting man, vegetarian and besides Dutch he managed 3 other languages. It is regretfull that he only left a few articles on our webside www.anderval.nl.

Hans passed away on 31-12-2010 due to a short uncurable illness of heart (amyloidosis).Few hours before the start of 2011 his heart stopped.

Bright memories of Hans will forever live in our hearts.

    For the first time I saw Hans years 30+ back in Moscow. He was the representator of firm Philips for the equipment for the electron microscopy. We, young then \" [mikroskopistki]\", were \"charmed\" by these stately handsome man with kharizma, first at his lecture, and then on the banquet. This was after the demonstration of electron microscopes in VNСPZ, the institute of the Academy of Medical Sciences. That evening Hans staggering danced, and then still he sang, he has perfect pitch and pleasant baritone. After several years, when Hans became the husband of my close friend Valeria, I frequently was in they house and was enraptured by their relations and unusual heat and kindness of Hans and by his refined culture.
    Hans was a man of encyclopaedic knowledge, what not touch, including to the literature and to the classical music at cet.
    Lot good it is possible to describe about Hans, very much…
    With great grief
