    I am always going to have so many precious memories. He was an awesome father in law with an incredibly wry sense of humor. So many things will remind me of him – he was one of a kind. Thanks for everything

    So nice to read all this about him. During my lifetime, I always knew him as a thoughtful, sort of quiet man who loved his family and nature. He always seemed to have a smile and some joke or funny word play to share and make us laugh. He would teach us the names of the different birds at his bird feeder, and take us to see the cats that roamed the woods outside. I’ll often tell friends how proud I am of him building his own house and reading probably more mechanical textbooks than I did in 6 years’ worth of mechanical engineering studies, and knowing how to do so many things. I remember him going down to the basement (to fetch us ice cream, I think) and modestly showing us whatever he was working on – he always had a light, playful tone to his voice. I probably get my tendency to stockpile my favorite desserts from him, and he was always happy to share. When I think of him, it’s always of his smile and his sense of humor, which I am lucky to say my dad inherited. I will miss him this Christmas but am glad he didn’t have to spend more time apart from my Grandma.

    Uncle Hank was more than an uncle to me, he was a good friend. I have a lifetime of many wonderful memories with him. I will miss the stories he liked to tell and I was always a willing listener. I’ll miss you Uncle Hank, but will see you at the Great Reunion!
