In my travels to Savannah and working with Strachan, Hank was one of the finest. Always honest and a gentleman. He and I spent many hours together. I spent some time with him in SC at his Dad's home for dinners. I send my best to his family.

I am so disappointed that I didn't know about Hank's passing. Hank was my mentor and friend when I came to Strachan and we worked on many projects together. He was a true southern gentleman and Savannah and Blufton are diminished by his passing. You are living in God's eternal grace my good friend!

To Hank Dunn's Family, I'm sorry to hear about his death. I worked with him several years at Strachan Shipping Co. He was a very knowledgeable man. I enjoyed working with him. God Bless all of you.

To the family of Hank Dunn-

I had the pleasure of working alongside Hank for over thirty years at Strachan Shipping Company. There was no one more knowledgable and dedicated to his job function than Hank. I always enjoyed his warm freindly demeanor and I am very saddened to learn of his passing. My prayers are with you during this very sad time.

To Hank's family, I began working in shipping back at the end of the 60s for an export company and later for freight forwarding companies and knew Hank for many many years -- I've been out of shipping for about 20 years now and still remember those who meant so much to me back then -- Hank was one of those. He was so easy to work with and so helpful. He, along with Talmadge, Pat & Charlie were four of my favorites!! That seems like so long ago and I know you will miss him. I pray that God will give you peace in the midst of a difficult time.

To Laurence, Duncan and Robert. I was sorry to read about your Father's death in the newspaper. Reading your names brought back so many memories of St. Andrew's drama classes and trips. I hope you are all well and have wonderful lives. Your dad seems very young, but I am getting older. Please know that I am with all three of you tomorrow. Barbara Roth

Hank has been my step-father for more than a decade. He and I spent many evenings together talking, watching football and movies. He was a very special man. We shared many moments and he will be greatly missed. I'm saddened by his death and pray he finds peace in the hearafter. My love to the family. Pop, I will miss you more than you can ever know.
