I'm sorry I can't can't see you in person. Hank was such a great guy and a loving person. I'll always remember how he tried to help my bowling ('swing like a pendulum do'). Regardless of what he had to say, I always knew he was going to make me smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We'll miss him. Love, Trish, Connor and John

I have great memories of your dad and all those picnics we went to as kids all those years ago. He always sent me a Christmas card, which I enjoyed. I ran into him in February at the Sausage Fest at Holy Trinity, he always had a hug for me. I will miss him dearly.

My PRAYERS are with your family. Hank was one hell of a man and neighbor. He always made me smile. I know he is looking down on us with his hard headedness. Hank is in a better place now. We all will miss him very much.
