Not sure what to say?

Hank and I were born 4 days apart and spent lots of time together growing up at Shorewood High, Camp Mohawk and in Eagle River. I have a money clip from Hank and another departed friend, Steve Stein, from our confirmation. I spoke to him after Steve passed away and we caught up on 40 years. He was a fun guy to be around and I know his family and friends will miss him.

In the early 1960's Hank starred as Albert Peterson in Shorewood High School's superb production of of "Bye-Bye Birdie". His performance dazzled me, and remains in my memory as one of the great stage displays I have seen. This only added to my previous reverence for Hank, which had developed after tuning in to his show as a motorboat-based floating radio broadcaster during his Eagle River, WI summers. Hank was my first brush with celebrity !
My sincere condolences to Hank's family, and my...

I was so sorry to hear of Hank's passing. He was such a nice man and his departure was altogether too soon.

Warm wishes to you all.

Hank was a great guide and a strong light in the building when I came to Au Pair in America. His smile brightened the day and his leadership allowed us to thrive. We all share the loss.

Hank and I were the worst shelf stockers in the history of Holprin's Super-Valu, "the northwood's most complete food center," in Eagle River, Wisconsin.

But we had the most fun.

Hank

I will always remember how good you were to me and my family when we moved to Connecticut. You taught me so much. I still say "Hank would do this or that" when we are in marketing meetings. I think of you often.

Hank was a visionary and utterly colleagial leader whose goal was always a product or experience that would be both life-changing and fun. Thus, working with him was both life-changing and fun. His family, especially his grandsons, should know that a world of people who have enjoyed working with him and think of him still as his friend share their pride in him. We miss him, too.

Oh the fun times with Hank in Kenya, Stamford, New Canaan, Cornelius . . . it was a joy to know him. A fellow Orangeman!

Twenty years ago Hank led me to international student exchange and the career I so enjoy today. He was truly a gift to us all.
