So sorry for your loss. Many years ago I was required to take 4 semesters of accounting and was dreading it. Hank made it so much fun (well as fun as accounting can be!!) that by the end I was sad to not be taking more classes from him!

I met Dr. Wichmann through his children Holly and Billy and wife Nilda. By way of them I realized what a nice man he must be. I am sorry for your loss.
