I send my condolences. Hank was a great man and I remember him as a beautiful artist. He would help me with my college art class and I will forever use the techniques he had taught me. He was a blessing to this world. He was talented and had such a big heart. He is an angel with such a wonderful soul. I will miss Hank dearly.
