I will always remember the joy he brought to all of us.

it has been many, amy years since I last saw Hank. He was with his little boy and was so proud and happy. I met Hank in 1979 when he was painting houses and I was a college girl (or "college gal" as he used to say.) Against his better judgement he let me help paint the doors on the Eastham fire station. On my annual trips to the Cape, I always think of him when I drive by the fire station. I was there and thinking of him on Saturday, the day he passed away. Peace and happy trails, Hank. My sincere condolences to his family--Hank was a true character and lovely person. I hope you take comfort in the fact that he was a good friend to so many people.
