Sue and Charlie,
It is so hard to lose a parent - the person who gave you the gift of life. And, oh, was Uncle Hank a person of "life"...and sometimes "bigger than life!" I may not have seen him often, but being with him always left me feeling affirmed (he was a master of compliments) and enlightened (he was a seeker of knowledge and interesting facts - and loved to share them). And I could always count on a story, a joke and a hug! May you treasure the memories and find strength in family, friends and faith.
Love,

Louise Sams, President

The Who's Who Singles of Arizona of which Hank was a long time member is very saddened to learn of his passing and wish to extend our condolences to his family. Hank was chairman of our tennis group for many years and a great member. He will be missed!

Suzie & Charlie,
No words can express your loss and the void you are feeling. I will truely miss my Uncle Hank's wit, sense of humor, laughter, hugs and of course his stories. He was such a good story teller (It must be a Becker thing). Please have comfort in knowing that the angels are rejoycing, along with the rest of our loved ones, watching over us and waiting until we're all together once again.
Love,
Molly, Tom, Jennifer & Joshua
