Henry Bianchini

I met Mr. Bianchini in Dowling Park, Florida. He came to the gym where I worked. We became instant friends. I loved hearing him tell stories about his life. The gym had a brick fireplace and he pointed out "some issues" with the work. He could tell it was off by a few inches, lol. He loved his family and spoke of them often as well as his time spent working at the fair. We would discuss our love of fair food. He always wanted me to try "elephant ears" and would remind me when the fair...

Hank (as I knew him) was a friend in Miami that went to Gladeview Baptist Church. We got to build a 40 by 100 building for the church. We (Hank, Bill Coile,Joe Butcher) would go to breakfast before going work and Hank would tell us about the many jobs he did. He was very proud of the mason work he did. He was very knowledgeable of building construction and was eager to pass it on to us.

He worked hard, cared for his family, provided and loved. He was a friend to whoever needed him and gave of himself daily. He made his marriage his priority and loved my grandmother with a passion.

Great friend, so dependable, enjoyed so many good times with him. He worked for his Lord Jesus and now rejoicing with Him.

He was a great man, and I always enjoyed seeing him. Especially at the Fair!

This is the message to my grandpa from my mom. "Dad, my heart is broken but the fond memories of you will keep it beating. Your stories will be sorely missed. I never wanted them to end.

Whether at work, home, or out and about, and only when necessary, I would set the phone down, set the speaker on loud and listen while completing the task at hand for as long as you would talk. I did not want to...

I've known Hank since 1968 and always enjoyed any time I got to spend with him. He was a loving father and a devoted grandfather. Always happy to see me whenever I was able to visit. I know he will be sorely missed by all his family and friends. Sending love to the family!

Grandpa, I really loved the stories you would tell from your past. You were a loving grandpa who always told interesting stories. I learned a lot from you. I will miss you always.
