I knew Hank from servicing his vehicle here at Clock Mobility - it was always good to see him & shoot the breeze about fishing & travel. Hank was a calm, steady & kind spirit with a great sense of humor. The world is poorer without him in it.

Hank was truly one of a kind and he will be very missed by those who knew him. My daughter was devastated to hear about "Grandpa" Hank, but we know that we will see him again.
