I can remember Hank as a fine gentleman and -- as we all know an avid Red Sox fan. He was (is) also a very religious and supportive person of the Christ the King Parish. I had a lot of enjoyment speaking with Hank and meeting him for a couple of beers with Cliff and some of his other friends. Always joking about the Yankees. He also kept telling me to get a new car - that is another story. I enjoyed helping Hank with his computer endeavors. He became very understading of the workings of a computer. WE had many conversations on that subject. Anyway -- I am sure Hank is finding comfort in his heavenly place and someday we will all be together. Renard Iannettone
