Hi Bunny this is Jim Sterling an old friend of Hank´s. We worked together at BWI My Alma Mater, USC is playing the Terps today so I thought of Hank. I really enjoyed working with Hank he was a real sweet guy and a pleasure to work with. My contact is (818)585-4342

I didn't know that Hank passed away until I read the Gonzaga News. I was very sadden and send you and your family my condolences. Although i was 2 years ahead of Hank at Gonzaga, I developed a friendship with Hank and each time we met (which wasn't often), he acted like we had just seen each other the day before. Always a smile on his face and a positive word. Great guy who will be genuinely be missed.

Bunny, Our sincerest condolences. Hank was such a great guy. We shall always remember that even when things were tough, Hank always had a smile. He shall never be forgotten. Remember that we are but a phone call or a few steps away.

Please accept my sympathy during this time. Hank was such a great guy, coach, and mentor. His positive energy influenced so many and I am forever indebted to him for helping me get into Gonzaga and truly changing the trajectory of my life. Thank you, Hank. RIP -Matt

So many wonderful memories of times spent together. With love and peace.

Bunny:

I knew Hank onward from 1954, he was a great competitor and an even greater man. When Matt Chose to play for DeMatha I was over the moon.

I wish miss him terribly; but he will always be in my prayers and my memory as a person who made my life better with his unending smile.

Bunny, Alexa, Christine, Greg and Matt,

You have our deepest sympathy; Hank was a true friend, mentor and role model. We'll miss him and always remember his positive outlook and strong commitments to faith, family and friendship.

Thank you so much for teaching my family and I how to live life with such grace and spirit by your example.
