Not sure what to say?

When I was a very young wife and mother-to-be, Hank (my first cousin once removed) and Marie kindly welcomed me and my husband to their home, showing me what a vibrant family could be. Hank helped his kids grow into talented, distinct personalities and ethical adults. He also helped us later with legal work for my mother's care when that was needed. Hail and farewell, Henry Kilgariff Workman!

I wish I had known him! Love to all the Workman clan.

I worked for the legal firm of THORPE, SULLIVAN, CLINNIN & WORKMAN from its inception through its division of THORPE and CLINNIN to start their own firms, and it became SULLIVAN, WORKMAN & DEE for a total of 28 years. Those were very happy, learning and supporting the firm as a legal secretary/paralegal. The firm was an outstanding honest (no egos) firm.

HE WAS A GREAT MAN TO ME PERSONALLY. A STEPDAD IF I EVER HAD ONE DURING OUR CAR RIDES TO LOYOLA AND BACK HOME DURING OUR SOPHMORE YEARS. A TRUE GENTLEMAN. I ENJOYED ALL THE CONVERSATIONS I HAD WITH HIM. GOD BLESS AND I HOPE HE FINDS THE SILVER CAMARO UP IN THE HEAVENS HE DROVE THE LOYOLA BOYS IN. GOD BLESS HIM AND THE UCLA BRUINS!!!!!!

Hank Workman was one of the greatest men I have known - caring, smart, generous, funny, forthright. Hank and Marie created a wonderful family who are part of all of our lives. Thank you for sharing your father and mother with us.

I was deeply edified by reading the biography of Mr. Workman. I remember him at St. Monica parish, as a kind face with a spiritual depth. Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord and let perpetual life shine upon him and until we meet again may the good Lord hold us in the palm of his hand. amen.

The Workman and Crawford families have been intertwined for generations. Our father, Sam, knew Marie as a child growing up in Santa Monica, met Henry at Loyola, then on to USC, where our parents became lifelong friends. We spent countless summers puttering back and forth to their house in Shelter Cove at Lake Arrowhead, shared years of classrooms at St. Monica's, and we have the greatest respect and affection for the Workman family and all of our friends who have married into the fold.

Love from the Crawfords to the Workmans. This is a bond that goes back decades. Special love to Henry Jr, my best friend for so many years growing up in Santa Monica.

Henry and Marie were charming and generous hosts to me, a complete stranger, when I visited Santa Monica in 1980 while I was Greyhounding round the US. My sincere condolences to all the Workman family Jackie Ingram- Oxford UK
