Henry J. Bannish Jr.

I regret not being able to thank him properly in my adult life for his kind words, but I´m gratified he was recognized by the many whose lives he touched, particularly at his retirement.

Dear Sally, Mitch, Karen, and the entire Bannish Family, The world is a lesser place without Henry. He was truly one of the best people we ever knew. He had to be the kindest and most selfless person ever. It was our good fortune to call him our friend. So many wonderful memories of Henry at "Voke," I was blessed to have him by my side as colleague and friend. Our prayers are with you all. We send much love. Jo & Keith

Hank, what he asked us to call him, was a "breath of fresh air" at Cathedral High School in 1969. He was also voted our favorite teacher. Wonderful human being, I am sorry to read of his passing. May he rest in Peace. John Somers
