Not sure what to say?

I didn't have to actually meet Hank to know what a wonderful man he was. Through the eyes and stories of his "little sister", Liz, I marveled at his generosity and love of life. I looked forward to meeting him and knew the jovial spirit of his beautiful grandsons was inherited from their grandfather. Wisdom and maturity observed in Grant and Scott is a testament to Hank's and Cathy's character, values and faith. May we all strive to follow Hank's example of love and living each day to the...

He had been my brother-in-law for so long that my sister’s name had lengthened to Cathy-n-Hank. When his eyes would wrinkle together with that glistening twinkle, I could always count on either a hearty laugh being extracted from me, or an arcane bit of fascinating Texas history being pumped into me. His presence was one of the high points of every family reunion, and is already sorely missed. What a hole he leaves in so many of our still-earthbound hearts... Goodbye, Hank, and happy journey...

Uncle Hank: Always in our memories... All-American dad, All-American Uncle. I can only aspire to be half the father, the uncle, and the man that he was. My fondest memory with Uncle Hank was when he took me to the deer lease when I was about 15... but "What happens at the deer lease, stays at the deer lease"!! Last time we spent together, we were both doing the YMCA at my wedding last month. I'll hold these memories forever close to my heart, and Uncle Hank's life will always serve as...

To Hank's family..even though I do not know you, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Liz... God bless you girl.. Please know that you are in my thoughts and I ask God to shower you all with love and comfort.
Hugs to all of you ....

I have had the fortunate experience of knowing Hank for over 20 years, Working with him in the professional life. But, having travelled with him extensively over these years, we became more, as friends and colleagues, and shared many happy and interesting times. We shared 'Hankisms' constantly (always his) and applied them to the situations at hand. An avid reader of hsitory, he always shared insights and lessons he picked up to our current conditions and we discussed the lessons therein....

I will never forget walking into the Womack home and being greeted by Hank "Jumpin Jerod! How you doin." I remember his hand shake and smile. He would always ask about how I was and how my family was doing. My best memory with Hank was a trip to Chicago. It was my first time to go. I probably shouldn't have told him that, because we visited a weeks worth of places in two days. Every stop was another story about who, why, and when. Who needed a tour guide when you were traveling with...

Best "BIG BROTHER" the Lord ever put on this earth. I will miss the physical but the spirit will live on forever.
THANKS HANK you truly made life better for us all.

Family and friends mean everything--it is the reason for our time on this earth.

We know and love Hank because my brother Brian grew up with Grant. (High school, college, sports, falling in love, getting married, having babies, working together...the list goes on and on...

Our families have celebrated one another for so many years that we seem as one.

Today, we are grateful for the friendship and memories.

All our love, Amy & Martin Fletcher

Cathy and Family,

Hank had a gift for making each person he met feel welcome and special. I will miss his constant, "crinkly-eyed" smile, but I'm betting he and David have already played a few great rounds. SURELY there are no hazards in heaven!

I extend my love and continuing support.
