We are truly grateful to have known Hank... We'll always remember his jokes, his laugh and that twinkle in his eye. Though he isn't with us physically he will always be in our hearts, minds and thoughts. When we think of him, we'll have to smile at all the good memories he’s given us. Our deepest condolences to Pat, Karen, Kami & the whole family.
