Jeff was so glad that he got to see Mike prior to his passing. He repeatedly spoke so highly of Mike and regarded him as a prime influence on his life. He will be sorely missed.

Uncle Henry was my godfather and I will always have such a special place in my heart for him. I can remember so many fun times we had as our families would meet every year "at the beach". Please know that all the Vedroni's will be in my prayers. I'm so sorry I could not be there in Amesbury. God bless you all and I love and miss you!

Well, I will miss “Hank” especially when he would give me that sly smile and look when I would sometimes address him as MR. VEDRANI!! He was so helpful during The Moving Wall and he would always invite me next door to his house at Landry Stadium, telling me to come over for a short visit that always turned out to be a few hours of rest in between breaks when the Wall was here. I like those who knew him will miss him and our prayers go out to his family.

Had the great pleasure of meeting Hank/Henry/Mike when we brought The Moving Wall to Amesbury. Finally found a man who loved to imbibe in "small" quantities of Jack Daniels as much as myself. Enjoyed visiting at the house with him and his family. Peace to his entire family,

My deepest sympathy to all of you for the loss of your Dad. I loved him! I ran into him a couple of years ago when I was in town, and he greeted me with a big smile and a hug. We sat and talked for a little bit. I'll remember him fondly. My thoughts are with all of you. All the best,

I am sad to learn that "Mike" has left his earthly home. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.When I picture him,I see a rugged man in his overalls,longjohn top,no hat, downtown Amesbury on the coldest winter day.Big smile on his face, and a big harty laugh and "Hello" to everyone!! With my deepest sympathy to "Mike's" family.

Hello, I was deeply saddened to hear of Mike's passing.
He had me laughing from the minute I walked into that house. He really had a way of making everyone smile. I looked forward to my visits with him.
I am glad I was so blessed to have met him and his loving, caring, wonderful family.He was blessed to having been so wonderfully cared for by his family, you were all so good to him. I hope when I get old my kids take such wonderful care of me!
God Bless you all, may your memories make you laugh and celebrate his full life, during this difficult time. Theresa Lucchesi from Home Instead Senior Care
