Hank was a wonderful and courageous person; the only one who would play full court one on one with me

My dearest Hank,
I will always miss you and think about you!
You had a big heart for good causes and I enjoyed your sense of humor. You were always loyal to your friends and enjoyed giving of yourself, advise and help to the young athletes that were devoted to their sport. You not only gave them advice but you gave them your time.
I always admired how you cared so much.
I enjoyed many dinners with you and Joyce.
I appreciated that you always left messages to wish me well for every holiday.
You will be missed not just by me but by so many people you graced with your charm, intellect and fine company.
The last time you called you sounded concerned but told me that you would call me back to explain the problem. I unfortunately never had a chance to receive your follow up call.
I know you cared deeply for me and I thank you for your devoted friendship and love.
God bless you, I know you are an angel watching over me.
with all my love,
Jennifer McKay-Gold

Hank was my best friend. I was not aware that I was supposed to check the internet in order to make a comment so please forgive my tardiness for reaching out. Hank was like a father figure to me and took me places I never dreamed I will go. He will truly truly be missed and will be in my heart forever and ever.

Hank did more for basketball the one can imagine. He gave his life, heart, and soul to helping players succeed in the game including myself.

I am so sorry to hear of Hank's passing. He was a good friend in high school and we played on the same Notre Dame High School team together. He was also a terrific player. He is in my thoughts and prayers.
