Judy, Found Hank's obit, while searching for your contact info, re plans to be in your area. So sorry to learn news. You + Hank were good friends of late spouse Marc Reader (d. 2016) summers in Onset. I remember your day care, Hank's sister, sad - so long ago. Hank's obit pic smile reminds me of your son's, when a little boy. Across years + miles, Judy, sending you the very best wishes. Susan, in DC

I am so sorry to learn of Hanks passing. He was a wonderful roomate for my four years at Bates, and challenged me every day, for which I will be forever grateful. We had some great times together.... "Jean Claud"

Hank and I were good friends at Bates, and I enjoyed seeing both of you at reunions, Judy. I didn't make it to our delayed 50th last June, either. But I so enjoyed reconnecting with Hank, and getting all of his great photos -- both old and recent -- for our 50th Yearbook. My heart goes out to you and your family.
