I played softball with Hank when I first came to Cape Coral.  He was so easy to be around, made me and my wife feel welcome. We again met him at church and Hank was quick to introduce us to his circle of friends.  I enjoyed his humor and wit.  What a nice teammate he was.  

Rest in Peace my friend, prayers to your family.







Hank ,you will be for ever missed by me we had lots of laughs together ! Always on my mind"your fat little boy" till we meet again. In GODS grace

The video was absolutely wonderful! So many wonderful memories stirred up with seeing my beloved friends, Rosemarie and Hank. From the day I met them in Uniondale, NY at the Catholic Church flea market, we became “ close friends” ( around 1982) Hank was very supportive of his wife in whatever she did, and the Jewerly  business I was in, brought us all so close! 
In 1985, when I had my third child, Rosemarie was with me at the hospital! Then at 5 weeks old, both Hank and Rosemarie “babysat” for  my newborn. I saw their kids on a weekly basis and remained close after their move to Fl. Both will live in my heart forever and deeply  and sadly missed! Our condolences to all the children and grandchildren during these difficult times. Prayers and love sent always, Carolyn and Perry Liberta 

Uncle Hank welcomed me into the family with open arms and became my Godfather when I converted to Catholicism.  We had many fun times together through the years  both working on projects and socializing.  I had a season ticket to the New York Jets, through a friend whose family had season tickets, the last year that Joe Namath was the quarterback.  Anytime that another ticket became available, Hank was my "date".  We had a lot of fun at Shea Stadium!  We also used to go to see the Mets when I received tickets through work.  We were also at the Nassau Coliseum the first night that the New York Nets played there with Larry K and Doctor J.  I will miss him. 

Uncle Keek was the best uncle.  He was so much fun and full of life.  I will miss him and think of him often with love and gratitude that he was in my life.  
Thank you for loving me, loving my girls and grandchildren and of course Larry, your "godchild"!  
You were truly the best.  
Love you Uncle Keek!

I will surely miss Hank! He has been a friend and a neighbor(lived across the hall from my office) here at Gulf Coast Village.
I miss his sisters, Alice and Ida, who also lived with us at GCV.
Sweet people! Hank was a "gentle soul" and a  kind man.
May God's rich blessings continue to  be poured out upon his family. 
Pastor Bob Inkenbrandt 

So glad to have met Hank here at Gulf Coast Village.  May he rest in peace.

I played senior softball with Hank for many years.  He always had a smile on his face at the ballpark.  A fine gentleman and friend, RIP.  Prayers for the family.....
