I was sorry to learn of Hank's passing and send my thoughts and prayers to all of you. Losing someone you care so much for is never easy and I hope you can find peace knowing he is no longer suffering.
I've known Hank since those days back at St James when growing up was such a struggle in the 70's. He was such a well liked person, it's sad to know he is no longer with us.
My sincere condolences to you.
