Henry was a great guy.
Went through high school with him. Hung with him several times after.
He had the best smile.

I was so looking forward to deer week at Alpha
Gun Club and all the fun we would have with
"HAMMERIN HANK" ( his CB handle ) in the back of the Red Cross Truck.
I've never met anyone as open and honest as Hank. He would willingly share many of his life experiences, both positive and negative, without
fear or concern for what anyone else might say or think. Sometimes it seemed he was purposely giving us fodder to make fun of him and the situations he got himself into.
I never saw him get angry with anyone who made fun of him. He had a lot of tragedy in his life but chose to look ahead to better times in his future, a lesson we all would do well to follow.
He was proud of his daughter Halle and her exploits with the cheer leading competitions. He was a hard worker and a hard liver and a guy who took care of his family and friends. His life was cut short but he did more living in 63 years than many people do in 100.
We will really miss our Good Friend Hank!!!

I was saddened to hear of Henry's sudden passing. He has been a friend of my brother Cliff and our family for many years. I always enjoyed Henry's visits to our home and will always associate Henry with fishing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Henry's family and loved ones

All of our family loved Henry and knew him for many years. My brother, Cliff, was his friend for over 50 years, but our parents, spouses and sister Bonnie all loved Henry as well. A great guy with a big heart. We will miss you.

Henry and I met in Junior High School, and we may remained close friends for many years. My parents, especially my mother adored him and called him Buffalo Bill. I was in his wedding to Arlene, and my heart is heavy with grief and shock. I saw Henry just two years ago in October. He took me and Arlene out for a lovely dinner and he looked wonderful. Dearest, beloved Henry, rest in peace. I was also close friends with his sister Lorraine and met Henry when his mother was still alive.

Henry was a friend in the late 70's and 80's. He had a great laugh, fun to be around. And a proud Dad and loving husband. My sincere condolences to his family.

Henry and I went through high school together. I haven't seen Henry since the mid 1970's. I always thought he had movie star looks. He had an amazing smile and laugh. We always had lots of laughs. He was a good guy. I never knew he had so many children and grandchildren. Seems like he worked allot of overtime.
Nothing but good memories of Henry. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. My most heartfelt condolences to his family. Love and peace.

It has been my privelege and honor to have called Henry my best friend for the last 51 years. Friendship such as this comes but only once in a lifetime. I pray for Henry's family and loved ones that they may be given the strength at their time of need.

We thought of you today. Remembering all the good and bad times you and my husband put us through. Rolling down a hill, shooting, hunting, fishing, the gun club,being good friends and family. Only you, Hank, would understand the meaning of it all. The stupid phone conversations, that we all will remember.... Rest in peace dear friend.... May your family and friends find peace in your memories.
