Not sure what to say?

Heaven gained another amazing angel when Hank passed away. Hank was a very kind and caring person. He and Mary Jane always made everyone feel welcomed in their home. Their kindness and love had no boundaries. Paige and Wilson were blessed to have them as Grandparents. So were the other grandchildren. He is with the love of his life now and I am sure they are dancing together again. May God ease the family's sadness in the loss of this great father and man.

Kind & Gentle Man who saw the best & treated others with respect & kindness. We pray & are assured that God has a place for him in Heaven with his Loved Ones

As sons of Joe Swartz, my uncle Hank became a father figure to us in the United States, and for a long time I spoke with him weekly. Henry was not only an uncle, but a close friend, trusted advisor, and a true patriarch to me and to my children, Ignacio and Miguel. In God’s providence, he also supported my father and our family in Venezuela during one of the nation’s darkest times.

Today, the Swartz Ocando d’Empaire family mourns his passing, but we do so with faith and hope. Rest...

Hank and I worked together in Pecten. He was a good friend. He was also an excellent engineer ( head of the reservoir engineering group) , and a great travel companion. He and his dry wit will be missed.

you’re passing was one of the peaceful I’ve ever witnessed. God bless you, Hank.

I have known the Swartz family since 1973, when we all moved into the same neighborhood, and they quickly became some of the closest people in my life. We attended Catholic church together, went to school together, and shared the kind of upbringing that only comes from a close-knit community.
Mr. Swartz, along with his wife, created a home filled with love, faith, and strong values. I was especially close to Mike and Steve, and the time we spent together as kids remains deeply meaningful...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I have many wonderful memories of Mr and Mrs Swartz. My condolences
