All of my memories are of Uncle Hank smiling. I hope that's how you come to
remember him too. He was a good man, and he accomplished much to be proud of...a wonderful family, a beautiful home, and a successful business. He worked hard, but he was always up for some fun. My deepest sympathy to my cousins, Debbie and Jimmy for your loss, and to your families, as well as to Dorothy.
Love, Diane
