Heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend Hank Biernacki. We grew up playing sports together and both went on to chase the skies as pilots. Taken too soon. Blue skies and tailwinds, Hank. You´ll be missed.

So sorry to hear of your loss. DID NOT ever get to meet him but knew his Dad. He was a good friend, Prayers for HENRY S FA ILY SORRY for his family and. Friends. Did' t get to meet him but knew his dad Nick From school overseas. Will see if I can find his books.

Hank´s grandfather perished on a secret military flight to Vietnam in 1962, never to be found. Hank´s father, Nick, died in 2019 of colon cancer.

I don´t believe that I have ever met anyone with as much talent, devotion, and...

That's how I felt and how I feel you. When I remember you, my tears turn into smiles as I recall our experiences, your jokes, your toes pinching hard, and us laughing and laughing, haha. You showed me what your eyes saw in Africa and what you wrote. You sang Latin music to me in Spanish. You enjoyed Fonsi's...

I am forever grateful for crossing paths with Henry. He has changed the way I travel and where I travel. Rest in love. A hui hou!
