Eleanor and family,

Our condolences and prayers to you and your family on Hank's passing.I thoroughly enjoyed working with him even though he referred to me as "Wolfie".Our children always ran to the window when the oil truck pulled up to see if Hank was driving.
I'm sorry Mary Rose and I will not be able to attend the services,but our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

Hank was Lori and paul's Friends favorite dad by far, he drove us p/u when we needed it and we would eat his spaghetti sauce till it was gone / him and Ellie always had fun and what a sweet pantry we raided. Great baseball coach too thanks hank for being a great one. We didn't have to call him Mr. either and when we saw the jeep we begged for a ride and got one
RIP

Eleanor, Laurie, Paul & Kathy I am deeply saddened about Hanks passing., Hank loved his family, his job, his sports and yeah even his jokes. I can remember as a kid visiting East Elm Ave and going downstairs in the cellar to listen to Hank and his friend Rick play house of the rising sun on their guitars. They were pretty good. Stay close as a family., Keep your fond memories tucked away in a special place in your hearts. It is ok to visit them from time to time that is what they are there for. As you move thru these next few days work off Hanks strengths and always remember he loves you and He will be the sunlight shining down upon you everyday.

Love you all
