My sincerest condolences go out to you at this time. Hunk was a lovable guy who always had a smile on his face and a big wave to me whenever I came home to visit my folks. He was also a great friend to my mom and dad through the years after your mom's passing. They so enjoyed his daily visits when he would bring their mail. I wish I could be at the service celebrating his life this Friday, but, sadly, work won't permit. I will be thinking of you all and saying a special prayer for Hunk as he's up there smiling down on all of us.
All my best to you,
Nancy Hanauer
