I can't belive it has been two years since you passed. We still miss you every day.  You will always be remembered every day. I placed new flowers on your grave today and said a few prayers for all of us. It is still hard to believe that you are not with us.  Love you to the moon and back.  Mom


Hank,  
Yesterday we celebrated Tyler and Kirstin's engagement party.  It was a Harry Potter themed party.   Lots of family and friends came to share in the celebration.   Everyone enjoyed it and all the food was delicious.  Your mom even put out some smoked oysters for you.  You would have loved it so much.  The only thing missing was you!
It's been almost 6 months now and I miss you like crazy.  I miss my best friend, my person and the love of my life.  Thank you for always loving me so much!  

Until we meet again my love.  I love you forever and always!
Kelly


We are so sorry for your loss! Your family is in our prayers!!

I went to Immaculate Heart of Mary School with Hank. He was my first boyfriend (6th grade). I remember him as a little guy with white blonde hair and an infectious smile. The IHM Class of 1979 have had several gatherings and Hanks name always comes up. I’m sorry that we weren’t able to reconnect with him. 
My sincere condolences to his wife, some, mom and dad, and all who loved him. The tributes posted are heartfelt and honor the man that he was. Prayers for all who mourn. May he Rest In Peace and perpetual light shine upon him. 

My deepest sympathy goes out to Hank’s family. I cannot imagine suffering such a profound loss. I worked for Diana for many years and got to know her family.  I remember when Hank and Kelly were expecting Tyler.  Hank was so excited about having a son with his beloved Kelly.  He loved being a father to his wonderful son. Hank always had a smile and a kind word.  He loved his family.  He was a gentle soul.  My thoughts and prayers are with Hank’s family at this most difficult time. 

Hank we shared great times fishing, crabbing and just hanging out at Chips. Had many beers and a lot of fun. Keep on fishing I won’t forget you.

Hank, 
   You were my buddy at work for so  many years.  I remember you would leave me messages about production when you worked  third shift.   I finally got to meet you on day shift.  You were my go to person when I needed help.  You were  an all around nice guy. You loved your family to pieces.   I loved hearing about your fishing adventures, the chickens, the pictures of you, Kelly, Tyler and Kirsten,   Jessie,  your mom's love of squirrels and Kelly's  adopted cat.   You  had just sent me a picture of the ponies when you and Kelly visited Assateague Island.  I will keep it forever, dear friend.  

Friends forever, 
Katie Knox  

I didn't know Hank very well but when we met at our work meetings every year we both lit up like we were old friends.  We shared pictures over the years of our fishing and hunting adventures. One of my best memories of Hank was trying to eat a sea urchin at a sushi bar in Green Bay. We both looked at each other and spit it out immediately. He will be sorely missed. Below is one of the pictures he sent me.

My condolences go out to all of Hanks family.... it's been many, many years since I had seen or spoke to Hank or Greg.... But as a childhood friend growing up in Loch Raven with both of them, not much time went by that I didn't think of the amazing times we had... I'm sorry for the loss, and sorry for not being a better friend... I know you'll be missed my old friend.... RIP...

I had the pleasure of meeting Hank about 6 years ago.  I am a vendor for Green Bay Packaging,  and Hank was my contact.   He always had a kind word and a firm handshake each time I saw him.  

He spoke frequently of his love for fishing, and had plenty of "fish stories ".   

I saw his obituary posted today at Green Bay, and left the facility in shock and disbelief.   Hank, thanks for always being so kind,  You will be missed.

You were the cutest little boy every and grew into a wonderful man!!!  Mom

My dear husband,

I can't believe that you are gone.   My heart is broken.  You are the love of my life and my best friend.   My rock.   My strength when I was weak.  I am feeling very weak and lost right now and I need you so badly.  How will I move forward without you?  You were an amazing father to our son and a wonderful devoted husband to me.  You were always so proud of your family and always worked so hard to provide for us.   Thank you!

I will love you forever and always!

Kelly

My sincere condolences go out to all of Hank's family and friends. He will be greatly missed. The "Hankster" has been a part of my life for as long as I can remenber. He was the cool older guy that lived a few houses away, and as we grew up he became a great friend, and brother! Dinners out with Kelly and Hank have always been cherished memories! I'll definitely miss the random pictures of fish that would come any time of day or night. But more than that, I'll miss my buddy that always made me laugh, and made every moment together a great time!

Hank and I shared an office for the last 5 years. He loved his Family and he loved fishing. Our first time out together, he landed a nice Rock Fish that he still talked about years later. I will miss hearing his fishing stories and the many pictures he texted me of his fishing successes at Loch Raven and at the Inlet in Ocean City. RIP my Friend. 

Dad, I dont know where to begin. You are already missed so much and it feels unreal. I will always remember the love and dedication you had to our family. You were my father and the brother I never had, we had so many memories and so much fun times in our lifetime together. You welcomed the love of my life Kirstin into our family with wide open arms. You were the one with so many stories to tell. You taught me to always express myself and speak my mind. Our connection is beyond this world and we had so much in common. Thank you for everything. It's so hard to say goodbye, we love you man.

You were my number one son. I will always love your smile, your sense of humor, and how you embraced life. Your dedication to your wife and son as well as your love of family. I will cherish every memory of you. Someday we will be together again, so find a good spot where we can watch the birds and the squirrels. Love you always, Mom

I watched Hank grow up to become such an amazing man.He was such a happy beautiful child and I spent a lot of fun times with his mom Di and his brother Gregory.I loved Hank and he will always be in my heart.His family has always been my family and I share in your grief. Love,Bonnie
