To Sue and the Obermeier family I´m sorry for your loss. His passing is certainly a loss. I thought the world of Hank.
I worked with Hank for a few years at Menards beginning in 2005 and I so enjoyed working with him. He was kind with a gentle demeanor and we worked well together. He gave me a ceramic angel for my birthday one year and it has been on my mantle ever since. I think of him every time I see it. Rest in peace my friend and hopefully we´ll meet again on the other side.

Henry was a foreman on the RR in early 70s when I was working as a hustler. When we would have feeds in the eve., he would join us and usually bring his home made peppers which were great
We always liked having him for a foreman
My sympathy to his family. Jim Jackson.
