Dr. Hans Willer Laale, PhD. was born at Taarbaek, a town North of Copenhagen in Denmark, on April 20th, 1935. He completed his high school education from Torben Brex Boarding School in 1949 and joined a trade career as a sailor on Skoleskibet “Denmark” which had taken him to explore Africa in his teenage years of 1951 and 1952 and his very first visit to Canada in 1953. Hans’ academic credential began in the year 1956 when he decided to go over to the U.S. and attended Bob Jones University at Greenville, South Carolina. He earned his B.S. in Biology in 1959 and without wasting any time after his graduation, he migrated to Canada the same year. Hans began his graduate school in biological science at the University of Western Ontario in 1959 and received his master degree from UWO in 1961. The final hurdle of his triple jump landed at University of Toronto.

His Chinese name 羅漢思 was given by Johnny Tan in August 1961 and the name that he was so fond of which you could find a seal of this Chinese name on every single book that he used to own thereafter.
