Phil,
I received the news this AM that your brother has passed on and that the calling hours were several days ago. We knew "Hank" and are deeply sorry that he left us at such an early age. We are even more apologetic that we missed the calling hours. Henry, like his older brother, was an enthusiastic and pleasant person to be around. He served his community and family well. Be proud of his accomplishments and the mark he made in this world. In these turbulent times, we need more people like him. Take pleasure in remembering the good times and the good he did. We do!
Please extend our condolences to the rest of the family and tell them to "stand tall" knowing that he made a difference.
