Not sure what to say?

Hank was always a positive person and shared so many wonderful stories of his son Jason and family, his raccoon family as his dogs and cat. I truly miss him. May God bless him and his family. Rest easy my friend.

Hank, your birthday is almost here. We´ve missed you for the last two years. You were such a wonderful friend and taught us so much about life and the raccoons. I hope you are resting well. Love and blessings.

I worked with Hank in the '70s at dick clark productions, in the '80s at ABC Network, and in the '90s at CBS Network. Hank was talented, passionate, and an all-around great human being. He was funny, kind, and a generous colleague and friend. You could be assured that any meeting or conversation with Hank would be filled with laughs. I hope Hank's final days were filled with the same kind of love and warmth he generated for others. Rest in peace, my friend. I miss you dearly.

Hank and I were colleagues at ABC 44 years ago. I'll never forget that he got his uncle, William Saroyan, to sign my copy of "My Name is Aram." Hank was a sweet, delightful guy. I'm so happy to have known him.

I so loved Hank, I spoke to him in early September and I had no idea that he passed away on September 23rd. has ws my friend and I loved speaking to him often. May God bless your sacred journey home to Jesus Christ. I know you will bring such joy and laughter to all of heaven. And all your fur babies here on earth like Baby your little fur poodle you are playing in the fields of heaven now with them all. I love you Hank I truly love you. thank you for what you taught me I will truly...
