Dear Ev and Family,
I have been thinking of all of you this week. I'm so sorry. Hank was a great guy and will be missed. He was the best neighbor at Crescent Bar. He always had a smile, even when I asked him to fix something. My prayer will be that God will lighten your sorrow..Love Judi Martini

Ev and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Hank truly had the gift of wit and humor. He willingly shared this gift with us and we enjoyed laughing with him. My sorrow of the loss of a C-bar icon is heavens new gift of Hank and his wonderful personality. I'm sure he is already entertained my Mom up there with his quick wit. We'll will see you in eternity with our Heavenly father Hank, until then we sure will miss you!

Ev and family,
Pat, Sam and I are sad to hear the passing of Hank. He was like a father to us and when we were in need, Hank was always there. Last time I asked where a tool was he said Eric, you know where everything is better than me. Hank's wit will be missed by all and will be well remembered.

There are so many memories in my life that include Hank.... Birch Bay, Hydroplane Races at Grandma and Grandpa's, family parties or when he was at Aunt Liz and Uncle Sal's house. What I could count on was a warm welcome, a smile, good conversation and again... a smile. Hank reminded me a lot of his dad and my grandpa - their eyes twinkled because there was always the possiblity of mischief... and definitely love. Hank, I will miss seeing you. With your heart I know the Lord was standing there with open arms, welcoming you, waiting for you to say something witty and then opening the door as our family was eagerly waiting to show you around and introduce to an eternity of family time. Give my Mom a hug for me.
