HENRY ROSENTHAL

Hank the tank I remember when we used to ride around and you were always singing and put a smile on my face. It is such a blessing to have known you. You were my only friend to visit me when I used to live out in Franklin. Since you passed I have been drawing more and not wasting my talent, like we had discussed while you were here with us. I will forever wish that you didn't have to be taken so soon. You were the best most versatile musician and such a great friend. Rest easy angel and my...

I am stunned to learn this. The Rosenthals are fine people. Hank, his brother and family ministered to me when I was aggrieved. Why? No answers, but only God know best. I am praying for Hank and his kin and loved ones. +Keith Charles Edwards

I attended my first concert of Hank's when he performed only a few short weeks ago at the Dragonfly Music Café. I was delighted by not only his fluid, flowing piano playing, but also by the warmth and charm with which he sang his songs.
My deepest condolences to his family and to his many friends, including the Dragonfly tribe of makers and lovers of music. I am grateful for the time, ever so brief, we had Hank in our lives.

Love is indestructible.

Tom, Robyn, Gerry, Mitch & Meredith,

We offer our deepest sympathy in the loss of Hank. I remember him as part of our North Plainfield neighborhood. I also remember his extraordinary talent in watching and listening to his piano playing.

Love and prayers to you all.

Thank you for being frank and honest about Hank's struggle with addiction and for stating his cause of death was due to a heroin overdose. My family also includes a heroin addict. We know first hand what you have struggled with on a daily basis until his death. It is my hope that your honesty will open a door for much needed dialog regarding addiction and the lack of knowledge and treatment afforded to the addicts and their families. Thank you for your courage.
I pray your Higher Power...

Thank you for your honest and frank admission regarding Hank's death due to a heroin overdose. My family also has a heroin addicted child so I know the difficulty of living with the fear, anger, hope, hopelessness and all the other feelings that go along with heroin addiction. Perhaps your admission will open a door for a greater dialog regarding addiction and ultimately more and better care for addicts.
I pray that your Higher Power will be a great source of comfort and strength to all...

This musical genius with an unlimited level of musical height could perform anything from Coltrane to B.I.G. If I asked Hank to play Luther he did it at ease. My heart is broken and my tears are sweet. I want his parents to know that his legacy is eternally captured in every musical frame on video and recorded word. He soars high, but yet he is forever endeared in our lives. I will missed him forever. The sweet boy with the swagger of Mozart, the fluid fingers of Ellington, the talent of a...

Hank, you were my first friend. I remember growing up together like it was only yesterday. I always thought that we would reunite some day. I know what it's like to hurt the way you did; my struggle continues. You aren't suffering anymore. I missed you before but I really miss you now. I wish we stayed in touch! Until we meet again my friend, I love you!

I remember the first time I heard you play the piano. You were a little guy playing the Beetles. Curt and I heard you play recently at Mannions and you were so gifted. May God bless you! We will always remember your talents! Hank you were a great person! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
