Christine - my deepest sympathy at the loss of your brother. Marian Connor Naumann

Deb - I was shocked to hear of Hank's passing as we recently attended a training class.

When I worked for the Norwich Bldg Dept I used to kid him that he only got the toughest jobs. I was continually amazed at his work.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Hank was a great guy and neighbor. Under his tough no nonsense exterior was a generous and caring heart. He was a Brave man, leaving a lucrative career to start his own business while supporting a family. On many occasions over the last 40 years as I struggled maintaining my ancient house, Hank would give me outstanding advice on better ways to do things and sometimes the material to do it (he "had it laying around"). Hank was a few days older than I and was...

Gone too soon, but he shall not soon be forgotten...
A really nice person, hard worker, great father and husband as well as recently, a grandfather.
It has been a absolute pleasure to serve on the Norwich Zoning Board of Appeals with Henry.
Because of his presence, he brought a calming sensibility into the sometimes, difficult decisions, the board has had to make. It was an honor to serve with you, Henry.
I am truly sorry for the loss his family will endure...

Dear Deb and Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss! May the loving memories made be a blessing to you now and the days to come.
With loving sympathy,

I'm very sorry and shocked to hear about Henry. It's been quite a few years since I've last seen him. I have many pleasant memories of Hank, and I always respected him as he was a kind compassionate person. He was a master craftsman, a very talented person. Rest In Peace Hank. You will be missed.

Deb and family my heart stopped when I heard of Hank's passing. He had more than a heart of gold. He was a godsend to us when he built my Mom's apartment and was always there for us and so many. He walked the walk and talked the talk he was such a wonderful man. Please know he and your whole family are in our thoughts and prayers.
