Not sure what to say?

Lana and Nathan,
You don't know me (but your mom does), your grandpa was a wonderful man. I remember him teaching me how to play baseball with your dad at the house. I always loved talking to Uncle Hank and I will never forget the crazy laugh he had. I did get to talk to him back in March and we had a good talk, been a lot of years but we picked up where we left off at. He will now be with the rest of the family and they all will watch over you both.
RIP Uncle Hank.

Hank, Peggy, and their 3 boys were my neighbors in Lum on Gark road back in 1980. Hank was the backbone of the family. He was the best. It saddens me to read of his passing. RIP Hank ❤

Most outstanding person I ever met. Prayers to you Nathen and your family.

Grandpa,
Words cannot describe all of the emotions I've been feeling since your passing. I hope you and dad watch over my babies as they grow. Ill never let them forget you and i will tell them some funny stories about you. Your little peanut misses you so much. You touched the lives of so many and accepted everyone. I love and miss you dearly. Ill miss walking in your house seeing you sleeping in your chair snoring up a storm with your shirt off. I hope heaven is a beautiful place for...

Grandpa
You & I had the best bond I really considered you as my own grandfather. I’ll forever cherish our talks and memories. I love you so much I’ll miss you and I’ll never forget you. I think the world of you ❤Jessie

I always loved seeing him. He was such a good man. Rest Easy.

I will miss Henk's gentle smile and sense of humor. When he has come to visit Jan and Cheryl each year he has been a delight to be around, always happy and ready to chat. When he and Jan would go hunting, I think he was really in his element, even if he got slower as time went on. He was with his brother and pal, Jan, and away they went! Blessings to all! Jan Hixon (Cheryl's Mom)

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Grandpa was a very kind and loving man . He will truly be missed.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
