Love and prayers to the Sanchez family. I'm sure all of his classmates from Notre Dame Elementary are somewhat numb from the news of his passing. Though many of us haven't seen him in years, we'll hold his memory near to our hearts. God bless.

One of the most genuinely nice and well mannered person you could ever meet. People like Hank are very rare nowadays, He set a great example on how people should conduct themselves, and a true gentleman always.

I first met Henry in seventh grade. He lived in Live Oak with his family for a short time, but left quite an impression. Henry was instantly liked by everyone. I had the opportunity to meet him again at a family wedding in Mendocino in September. Henry as always was delightful and kind. I watched him with his beautiful family and could see what a good life he had. My prayers are with his lovely wife and family. Until we all meet again in Heaven my friend.

Melany and family, it's been about 18 years since I've seen Hank but I can still clearly see his gentle smile and hear his kind voice and visualize him dressed up in one of those Israelite costumes Leslie put him in. :)
He was one of the best representations of Jesus on earth that I've ever known. May you and your family fully feel the very real presence of the God of ALL comfort. Love to you all,

First met Hank 30 years ago on a job site at UC Davis . Never forget the first impression he left on me. Responsible, humble and considerate. He was a mans man full of the Holy Spirit. May his protective heart live on for his family. God send your comforting presence to his beautiful daughters and his Bride.

Melany and family, I am so saddened to hear of Henry's passing. I had just seen him in the grocery store and we kinda caught up. It had been a long time. I remember now, seeing him getting on and off the school bus in D-10. The whole Sanchez family was a part of growing up in D-10. My deepest sympathy to you all.

Hank, my good friend and brother. You were a great friend to me during our high school years, and though distance kept us apart as we went our separate ways, I am thankful the few times we had to catch up with each other. Just seeing your picture on this memorial, reminds me so much of who you were: that gregarious spirit, always ready to share a good laugh or give a piece of sincere advice. I miss you, Hank.
