Marg, Joey, Linda and Connie I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We lost my Dad last February so I can understand what you're all going through now. I live in south Florida now and that was the longest drive home I ever made in my life. I think of all of you often and wonder where life has taken you since I spent so much time with you so so many years ago. You've all always had a special place in my heart. My heart now breaks for you and you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know Hank will be deeply missed. Even death can't steal all the love and memories forever engrained in your hearts. He will always be with you in spirit. My love to all of you and your families always, Becky

To "Hank's" family, I am so sorry for your great loss. You do not know how much he will be missed at church, I always looked for Hank, every time I went to church, I loved his warm generous spirit, and kind smile. If I happen to slip in "late", I would always have to turn to see if Hank was there and in his "favorite seat". He was such a blessing to be around, and I will never forget him. Love to all of you.

I am so sorry to hear about Hank passing away. We lived just down the street from Hank, his parents and brother and sisters. I didn't know that his other brothers and sister had passed. Hank was always a friendly guy and I am proud to know him and his family. I now live in Fredericksburg, VA and regret that I will not be able to attend his service. My condolences to Hank's family. God Bless you, Hank.
