Mary, Suzy and Families, I am so sorry hear of Hanks passing. So many childhood memories from growing up included Hank. He was always there to greet me when I came to your house. He always made us laugh and kept us entertained. Y'all are all in my thoughts and prayers. Kelley

Mary and family, We are saddened by the loss of Hank. We have fond memories of Hank as we attended the PGUMC. I always enjoyed talking with him and he never failed to make me laugh. What a great outgoing personality! We love you guys and look forward to that day we all feast at the heavenly banquet. Love and peace, The Silvas

So sorry to hear of Hank's passing. I never met Hank, but spoke with him many times on the radio. And I feel like I've lost a friend. Hank made people smile and he will be missed by more than he could ever know. If they play ball games in Heaven, I know Hank will have a front row seat. And I know he'll be eager to offer his opinion when it's over! Please know that the thoughts and prayers of many people are with you during this time.

Awe Hank, always had a smile and always waved. Terry took him home on occasion and he always had to give him a gift. His heart was so big and we all have fond memories of him. Rest in peace my friend. Mary and family, thinking of you during this difficult time.

Mary, a kinder soul could not be found, we could use a few more Hank's in the word.

I had wondered over the last few years what happen to the man who always waved at us, he was always a joy to see. Thankful to have had him in our community, his absence had not gone unnoticed. Prayers for his family.
