My heartfelt condolences to the Willoughby family. Hank was my boyhood friend in Breton Woods from 1954 until 1959. My family lived on Buckingham Rd a few streets away from London Rd. I learned to waterski on his Dad’s boat and Hank and I were like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He was a kind and gentle friend and I have nothing but warm memories of those early days.

Kathy and Chuck: My heart breaks with you. I lost a best friend of over 30 years and a brother.
Hank loved you both very much. In our many private conversations he told me how lucky he was to have found Kathy. He would look at Kathy as she was preparing dinner or sitting at the pool and say to me, “Boy, did I luck out.” I think we all lucked out having Hank in our lives. Hank loved life and got everything he could out of it. And he inspired me to do the same. There is an emptiness...
