There are soooooo many stories I can't start or end with out a big grin. They are ALL good and that's a funny, very unusual gift and what made Hank, Hank. Never, never was there a moment Hank disappointed. That is my mental memory of THE HANKSTER.

God Bless him and comfort those who mourn him today. We love him and will miss him.
