As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I met Hank forever ago in Atlanta through my husband. Hank was always fun and interesting to be around....and like us, he enjoyed playing pool. I was glad that he stopped in to see me even after my husband passed away. I will miss those visits. God bless you, Beth. I am very sorry for your loss.

Hank radiated absolute joy when he was dancing and was with his beloved Beth. I will miss our conversations and the dinners they shared with Peter and myself. A truly unforgettable person.

I met Hank dancing at Cowboys now Dirty Bourbon. He was very helpful and willing to dance with me when I still didn´t have a clue how to dance. We started becoming friends not long after the 2009 Winter ball. Neither of us had family so we kind of adopted each other. We had many outings and enjoyed good conversations. The memory that keeps surfacing the most is how excited he was to bring Beth to her first club dance. You couldn´t remove his genuine happy smile if you tried. Watching their relationship blossom was so special. I was honored to stand for him when they wed. Beth, you brought him so much joy. I will miss my long conversations with him.

As a member of the ABQ dance club, I enjoyed dancing with Hank. He was always willing to dance with new members and make them feel comfortable on the dance floor. He was a very kind and friendly man with a positive attitude. He touched many lives and he will be missed.

It was always a pleasure visiting with Hank about new ideas for fixing our working on a project. I will miss hie optimization. I am sure even heaven can use another good dance leader.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Hank through my Aunt Beth. I remember all of the interesting topics of discussion Hank would bring up during Thanksgiving get togethers. He was knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about his many hobbies. A great man. He will be missed.

Ah Hank, Good Afternoon. I was proud to count him among my friends. He was a many of many talents and interests. He was always willing to share his newest handcrafted project or toy. We used to meet for lunch occasionally and chat for hours like old men do bouncing from one subject to another. I will miss you and I will always remember your two rules of dancing (lol). May God bless you and keep you.

I met Hank through my wife Christine. She knew him from the dance club, and he was in our wedding. Hank and I shared a background in IT and a fondness for conversation. It was good to meet with Hank for lunch about every couple of months, and I wish I'd gotten to know him longer and better. I got to know him long enough to think of him as a good friend, And I'll miss him very much.

Hank always offered advice and encouragement for home projects; his enthusiasm for dance was contagious; and his stories helped us through tough times during the pandemic. He'll be missed.

My friends and I met Hank over 30 years ago. He became a friend from the day we met. When he talked to, he had my full attention like we were the only people in the room. He joined in on all the parties, picnics and especially dancing. He moved to New Mexico and continued to stay in touch. From everything he told me, Beth was a perfect match for him and he was very happy. I am so glad he found Beth. I will miss his calls. We always caught up on his dancing, making knives or his dogs. There is a star in heaven for him and it's much brighter there.

A good friend whom I knew for several years. I enjoyed his company very much even though we often innocently "sparred", I will miss him quite a bit

Hank taught me how to shoot a gun, silver and gold solder, carve wood, and how to enjoy making things. I knew him since I was eleven years old. It's funny to remember that back then he used to annoy me with his silly ways. But over the years he grew on me and I considered him family. Now after fifteen years of knowing him, I can say those years were made better by his presence. I will never forget you Mr. Hank.

A good friend of mine. I enjoyed his company for the past several years with friendly "sparring" along the way. I will miss him
