Hank was quite a character! I found him to be a straight forward and honest man. I got to know Hank through our contractors association and bought Air Treatment company from him in 2003. The business he built is one of the oldest HVAC companies in the area and continues to serve the people of Vienna and the surrounding area. Another member of the greatest generation who helped save the world from tyranny and then came home to be a great citizen.
