Dear Lois, Brian, Linda and family: Will always remember the kind, generous and easy-going spirit of Hank and the love of the outdoors to Winnipeg Beach and the target practice we shared. Also remember the occasional trip to A&W. Always remembered and respected. - Posted by: Ron Fernstrom (earlier friend of brian's (circa 1970's) and family acquaintance) on: Nov 01, 2013

Dear Lois (and family) We were saddened to hear of Hank's passing. My (Dave) memories of Hank go back some 55 years, when Hank used to visit at the farm in Springfield before you were married. He always enjoyed a good joke and was fun to have around! We are praying for you and trust you will find comfort and strength in the Lord Jesus both today and in the days to come. Love, Dave and Karen. - Posted by: Dave and Karen Dunn (Family) on: Jan 10, 2008
