    So glad to have met you, uncle Hank. You seemed to be smiling all the time. You were well-loved by your children. To know you were my dad's best friend meant the world to me. Looking forward to seeing you again! Your niece, Stephanie (Vicki)

    Condolences to the family. Hank was a special guy, as we all know. He will be missed. He's been a great father, father-in-law, and grandfather, and an inspiration to all of us. Much love and sympathy from the Harris family.

    To my pappy. The best man in the world,your strength, honor & kindness was like no other. Your ability to fix, rig & invent things was astounding. Your deep voice that used to sing to all of us grandchildren will always be imbetted in my mind. I never heard you complain, even though you were often in excruciating pain. I never heard you yell or scream at anyone, you were patient. You have been through more in life then anyone I know. Your warm smile & gentle demenour was loved by every single person who came in contact with you. Pappy, I will miss you every single day of my life. You told me months ago you where ready to be with nana & Walt. I know you are now swinging, bowling, playing cards, singing, working & fixing anything you can get your hands on, then sitting down for an apple fritter & coffee. I love you with all my heart. Until we meet again. Love~Julie
