I was so sad to hear of Hank´s passing. I worked with him for many years and he was a great manager for a couple of those years. Years ago we all went to a New Britain Rock Cats game with your family and I´m very sorry for the loss of your husband and father.

To the Rau Family, I´m so sorry to hear of Hank´s passing. May your fond memories of him console you in this sad time. I worked with Hank for many years in the trail of companies from Phoenix to Sun Life. Hank was a joy to work with, always in a good humor and cracking a joke. The world is a sadder place without him.

To the Rau Family My deepest condolences for your loss. Hank was a good man and kind soul. I especially remember our trip to the San Andreas fault on dune buggies during a sun life business trip. He insisted that we come back with rocks from there. I still have mine! And maybe some others still do as he gave some as gifts! What a great memory !

I was saddened to hear of Hank’s passing. We worked together at Phoenix, Genworth and Sun Life. His sense of humor made it a pleasure to work with him. He will be missed by all his work colleagues!

To the Rau Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Hank for many years. I remember how much he loved taking his family on so many adventures. May you find peace and comfort in your memories. Cathy Bannan (Dudko) Redman

Claudia, so sorry to hear of your loss of Hank. I remember him being a devoted fan of the girls softball team that Carolyn and Chrissy played on. Keeping you and your family in my prayers during this difficult time.

Claudia and Family, Sharon and I are so very sorry to hear of Hanks passing . He was one of the good guys and we graduated high school together. I remember cutting study hall with Hank 2 or 3 times a week and heading to the Donut Kettle for breakfast only to be caught by Coach Sullivan, he would just smile at us but never turned us in. He will be missed terribly.
