I was out of town when Hank passed away, and was so sorry to hear the news when I returned. Hank was a good man with a great spirit. He was part of our work family for many years, always bringing both wit and wisdom to the office. My wife and I wish all the best to Dorothy and the family.

I had known Hank for many years as a neighbor of his mother when she lived on Ventura avenue. I also remember a time when I was a small child and was choking on something and the guys in the big red truck showed up and he was there. Hank was a wonderful man -always had a wave or a smile or both and will be missed by many. God bless you.
