"Hank" and I were friends for over 55 years and go back to our days selling together in Pittsburgh. He was truly "one-of-a-kind" and was always mindful of his "Yale" background. We, much later, ended up together again in Cincinnati where we enjoyed mutual success. Rest in Peace, old friend.......

I had the pleasure of working closley with Hank fo many years while I was at Armco Steel Corp, and he, at IBM. A real gentleman. Later on he and Ann become close personal friends of my late wife Jean and me before we moved to Boston, and they to Florida.
