I knew Hank when he used to do work with Beechen & Dill Bldrs. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. He was the kindest and sweetest man I ever knew... and he had the prettiest blue eyes I ever saw. We used to tease him about them. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. He will be surely missed.

Hank was one of the nicest gentlemen we had the pleasure of knowing. Always humorous and friendly. His offer of donuts while we were exercising was classic. Love to his large and loving family, expecially Irene, from your old neighbors.
