Sophie,
I have many fond memories of Hank growing up. His commitment to family was a constant inspiration. I know that my parents truly valued his friendship and card playing ability. My thought and prayers are with you and your entire family.

My sympathies to Mrs. Onufrak and the family. It's been decades since I met Mr. Onufrak -- I was a friend of Gary's at St. Camillus almost a half century ago -- but I still remember he was a very kind man, and I know he will be missed.

Hank was such a gracious, generous man.
His gentle, reasonable manner spoke volumes about
his character. I'll miss his advice, his terrific ability to tell a story, and the kind timbre of his voice.

January 18, 2012

I have known and loved Hank all of my life. I will miss him terribly. Hank was a very loving presence in my life and the lives of my family. We were blessed to know and love him.
Such a kind and decent man.
xo,
Cary
