As we were growing up I spent a lot of time at Kathy's house and have memories of Uncle Hanks visits. He was a good man loved family and friends. He will be sadly missed. My prayers are for those left behind.

We will miss Uncle Hank's
continued knowledge of so many of life's endeavors. It could be flowers,politics,medications,
baseball, health, and food. Oh Yes!What is the best dessert? We are so thankful to have had you as are Uncle right to the very end. Our last visits on Oct 3 and Oct 13 will be treasured forever with all the other memories. It was tough to see you go as we stood by your side in the University Madison hospital through your last battle. We know you are in the eternal garden of the Lord.
All Our Love,

Uncle Hank,
Boy will you be missed! We didn't see you often, but we sure had a good time when we did. I think I was closest to you than any of the uncles. I'm so sorry I couldn't be with you to help. I know God will take good care of you. Relax now.

I remember Hank when he would come and visit my parents [George and Romona Bink]. My earliest memories is when I was about four or five years old and we lived in Cudahy.Hank was part of our family and as I was growing up I remember him as a friend going on bike rides and always being there to help you out. Hank God Bless you and thank you for being part of my life.

Uncle Hank,
You were one of my very favorite uncles. I'll never forget all the fun we had, many years ago when you visited our family in Michigan. I'll miss your smile and great laugh.
May God bless you!
Your niece Sue Shobert

I will always remember Hank's visits to my parents house (George Bink) his bike riding, beekeeping and many interesting stories. How he called me spike since I was tall and skinny then.
Hank took all my wedding pictures,
a wonderful gift, he had so many talents.
We have been blessed with his kindness and friendship over the years. He will truly be missed by my family

Will miss seeing you on my walks......just a friendly wave or a conversation about baseball, flowers or life in general. You and your dog "Bones" were the first Neighbors to greet us when we broke ground on our property.

You will be missed and in our hearts forever.

Hank,
We will miss you-Always ready for a little good-natured neighborhood gossip or a discussion about what flowers to plant for the spring season. We will always have memories of you and Bones hiking down the road together in the early mornings.

words can't express the sorrow in the passing of a very dear friend who has mean't so much to us over the years. Hank was truly a gentleman. He was always there when we needed him and us for him. He called on us often for different types of help and gave help in return. He had certain beliefs and expressed exactly how he felt, and I will miss him for that. He always wanted to know how our 11 year old son "shorty" was. He followed him through all his sports. He came to see him play baseball as far away as Sharon, WI, to see him play basketball and of course football. Just a couple of years ago he and Scotty would throw the ball to each other whether it be a football or baseball. Scotty always remembered to bring an extra glove for Mr. Chronert. I always made sure we had a sweet treat for Hank every now and then. Just to find out from his nieces his love was cake!
We will miss you dearly "my friend" You were to young to be taken from us so soon. The last 17 years have gone fast but we are privelidged to have had that with you. Time for you to rest now. We will never forget you!!!!!!! Love, Steve, Jan and Scotty Gorsuch

Of the millons of people God has Created he created only one Henry (Hank) Chronert. His friendly smile and warm hand shake will be greatly missed. Spend hours visiting and talking over the old days with Hank which he loved to do.When you would leave Hanks house you could be sure you would leave with some Fruit or vegetables
from his Garden or Orchard. God bless you dear friend. l have just lost a part of my life.
