There are no words in the universe that could come close to express the grief that I feel for the loss of my dear friend. Hank ( I affectionately called him Squeaky) was the kindest, most patient person that I had ever met. He had to be a saint to put up with my awful golf swing. He took me from the 110's to the low 80's and High 70's! He was my miracle worker! He was my loyal confidant. We were inseparable! Rarely in life are we fortunate enough to find a friendship as deep as ours was. He was a scholar and true gentleman in every sense or the word! I will miss his bright laugh and smile, his unending wisdom and his passionate loyalty to our friendship. Hank made me a much better person and for that I am forever indebted to him! I'm sure that our lord greeted him with his favorite saying, GOOD AFTERNOON! I just know that he's scouting the best golf courses up there for us when I arrive! To my dear Tara and family I can only say that I cry with you every day but I know that his endearing soul is at peace with our heavenly father. You are in my prayers. God bless you all. Much love!
