KUNOV, Hans - P.Eng., Professor Emeritus - March 14, 1938 – June 4, 2022
Hans Kunov died peacefully, at home, in Toronto using MAiD, having had a full and wonderful life.
He is survived by his wife, Clare Lamb; his sons, Mads (Marie) and Niels (Daniella); and their mother, Helle; as well as his five beloved grandchildren; and his sister, Else.
In 1967, Hans accepted a professorship at the University of Toronto Institute of Biomedical Engineering, and moved from Denmark to Canada.
He spent the rest of his career teaching and researching at the Institute, heading it from 1989 to 1999.
Hans retired in 2003, but continued to teach and mentor engineering students.
In 2019, he became the Dean's Designate on Academic Offences, a position he held until the end. Hans was an avid reader, with an infinite curiosity for philosophy, literature, languages, the "magic of words", politics, history and economics.
He had a passion for sailing and woodworking. For many years, he was active with Big Brothers and was named Big Brother of the year in 1986, and awarded the Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee medal in 2002.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
