Uncle Hank......my very favorite on a short list of uncles still would have been my favorite on a longer list. He was a nice funny guy who always made me smile. Childhood was a better place because of visits to "Uncle Hank and Auntie Dot's house" to see cousin Steve. Uncle Hank was one of a kind! We loved him and we will miss him.
