In Celebration of

Hans Henrik Georg Nielsen

March 14, 1951 - June 12, 2024

Passed away on June 12, 2024 in his 73rd year. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, to Georg Nielsen (1982) and Kirsten Nielsen (2018). Deeply loved brother of Birgitte (2019). The family immigrated to Canada in June 1951 settling in Toronto. Hans was raised and educated in Etobicoke prior to attending and graduating from the University of Western Ontario and the University of Windsor. He had a career in accounting and finance as a CPA/CGA, which included twenty years with the Canada Revenue Agency, Enforcement Division, Toronto. After a ten-year marriage, Hans made frequent trips back to Denmark to re-establish relations with family members, to establish new friendships and to maintain his knowledge and use of the Danish language. Hans will be missed by good friends in the Toronto and surrounding areas. Cremation has taken place and, upon request, no funeral service will be held.

The Nielsen and Worrall families were very close for more than half a century. Hans and I were boys together. His parents Georg and Kirsten were very kind to me and my sisters. In later life, his sister Birgitte would marry my father James. There have been many shared experiences and good memories. Speaking on behalf of the Worralls - Anna Jane, Brenda, Ingrid, Jennifer, Lindsay, Kathryn, Aileen and myself - I say to to Hans and all the Nielsens, "We will miss you - rest in peace."

Hans made me feel welcome when I first joined the Enforcement Division. We soon became friends. He was a man of intellect and dignity, but also had a fine sense of humour and a warm heart.

The last time I saw Hans was when I attended his retirement party, many years ago.

I just heard the news of his recent passing, a few minutes ago.

My sincere condolences to the family of Hans Nielsen. He is gone too soon.

Hans was a fine man and I will always remember him.

I just found out Hans passed and am very sad. I first met Hans at CRA when he changed offices, from Mississauga to Toronto. We worked on cases together and shared many interesting experiences, helping each other and also developing a lasting friendship, leading to us keeping in touch over the years after he retired.

Hans was very principled and steadfast and trustworthy, a man of integrity and character. I often teased him for his lack of techology while he teased me for too much. Last I spoke with him in the Spring he admitted he finally got a cell phone!

I will miss our lengthy Christmas catch up telephone sessions and his loud laughs. He was truly a great person and will be greatly missed by me and many.

Condolences to his family and friends.
