My Uncle Great Hank was the best! My father was his nephew from the maternal side, Robert (Bobby, Bob, Sonny) Thomas Stewart, Jr.). I loved Uncle Hank's energy, smile, and beautiful blue eyes. I remember his sweet wife Virginia. She put the "B" in Beehive. So awesome! He was the hardest worker! And his cheeseburgers and Shakes were the best! Plus much more, I miss him very much. Sending much love to the family, Lorie

Condolences to Sheena and Hank's family. I have been eating at Hank's for
years and knew Sheena through my stepdad Mark Dobos, who sends his condolences as well. He was such a sweet man and made the best food. Forever the best burgers in town. I will be coming on payday to get the biggest burger and fry order possible in his memory. You will be missed, Hank!

One of my fondest memories are slow times at the Drive-in and when Hank and I would just talk. Hank was one of a kind. He was my home away from home and treated me like one of his own. I know that now he is basking in the glorious light of the Lord with sweet Ginny ♡

Hank was a wonderful man!! I thought the world of him and his wife!! Praying for the family!!
