Not sure what to say?

A gentleman, a humorist, a ballroom dancer/teacher, and our Friend. You are missed.

Dear Marilyn:
Our condolences for your loss. We had the pleasure of knowing Hank for over 25 years. Thanks to the expert instructions we received from you and Hank, we have enjoyed dancing all around the world. We will miss him. Dolores and Bob Winkels

Marilyn, please accept my condolences! Hank was such a fine person - what a great temperament and humor. I was just telling some friends of the dance classes I attended with the both of you. I will remember him in my prayers.

Hank & Marilyn Turek

We will miss our backyard visits with Hank. He always had something interesting to talk about and had a great sense of humor. His face always lit up when he talked about Marilyn and their dancing. Rest in peace, Hank.

Hank was a wonderful man, and we all loved spending time with he and Marilyn. His humor was contagious and we loved it when he teased Marilyn. The world has lost a kind and gentle man who's face lit up when he danced. We are so sorry for your loss.

I often think about our dance classes with Hank and Marilyn. It was always a highlight when he would make one of his "punny" remarks and elicit a big groan from Marilyn. Rest in peace, Hank.
