Howie, Carol and Hank: Regret I was unable to offer my condolences in person. Wonderful memories of a great man, a part of my teen years to always cherish. The red truck, the "pot and pan factory", the pool games, canned pears and of course the privilege of having known him and your mom. May God bless them and all the Rezniks. Hope all is well.

Sorry he has left us, but so glad and grateful for his long and fiesty life. Definitely one of my role models. I love to tell Vagia the story of how he drove up from Florida at Christmas.

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with all of my Reznik cousins at Uncle Henry's passing! I'm sure Aunt Mary is asking him why it took him so long. He is with his Mary now "for always."
