Phyllis, Robin and Darrin, I was so sad when I heard of Hank's passing from Cindy; he was such a genuinely nice guy and had a way of sincerely making you feel good and that he was so happy to see you and share time with you. I regret that we have not seen each other in years. Please know that Charles' and my thoughts are with you and our prayers also. May your precious memories sustain all of you in the days and weeks to come during this difficult time. Our love, Liz and Charles Sumrall

So sorry for your loss. We have so many wonderful memories of Hank. Vacations, game nights, going out to eat and just enjoying each others company. He was prince of a guy who loved his family and friends. It was an honor to be his friends. Love all of you. The Richardson Family
