Not sure what to say?

Thank you Guy and the ABC for carrying on in my dad's honor. I miss him dearly and think of him daily.

Wow! This is the 20th anniversary of Hank's passing -- his legacy lives on stronger than ever. The Arizona Badminton Center is thriving and the Hank Anderssohn Badminton Hall is packed. We continue to honor Arizona badminton's most impacting people with the Hank Anderssohn Eagle Award-- a beautiful trophy displayed in our lobby. Yay Hank!

It is amazing that it has been 19 years. I miss my dad and our conversations about anything. I am framing as much of his artwork as I can hang on my walls, but I have run out of wall space. All my love and gratitude to Guy and his badminton family.

19 years already, where does the time go? Seems like yesterday that Hank was along side of us opening gyms for badminton, running tournaments, coaching kids, and playing. No better sportsman ever graced the courts. His legacy lives with us forever.

Hank's legacy continues to live on among many of us here at the Arizona Badminton Center, and among everyone in the badminton community whether they are fully aware of it or not. Arizona badminton simply would not be where it is today without the 40 years of foundation building that Hank brought from the early 1960s onward. We all continue to thank you! As a close friend, Hank will always be remembered, too!
