Henry Earl SEVERSON Our dear Hank Severson passed away on March 19, 2011. He is survived by his sister, Lois Hanson, his children, David and Kirsten Severson, his wife Diane Balloun Severson and many other treasured family members.

He loved baseball, movies, travel, discovering the unknown and most of all - a good laugh.

To the day he died he connected with people of all walks of life and remained a loyal, loving and devoted father, brother, uncle, husband, friend and father-figure to many. Hankster the prankster - we will miss you dearly. Love you deep. Service held at St. Vincent de Paul Sat.

I remember that smiling face! What a sweet man he was. I am so sorry for your loss. I just lost my Dad a little over a month ago. It is a very tough thing to go through. My thoughts are with you and your family at this very sad time.
