The club will never be the same without Hank. Hank saved the club and made it a second home for many of its members. I will always miss the phone calls and long chats, especially when the phone would ring for a second or third time only to hear the familiar ... just one more thing. The devil is in the details and Hank always made sure there were no devils to be found. I'll tip one (maybe more) for you and we will all take care of the club for you. - Posted by: William Croydon (Friend) on: Nov 29, 2013

We got to know Hank when he was acting as executor for his friend Gary. We found out he had a trailer at Wild Oaks and were just getting to know Hank. He invited us to the gun club and were looking forward to going there with him next year. Also looking forward to seeing him again at Wild Oaks next season. We will miss him. - Posted by: Rick and Linda (friend and neighbour at Wild Oaks) on: Nov 28, 2013

Hank you were a great man. I'll miss our long talks about hunting, I never got the chance to tell you this year that I shot a buck, you were always proud to hear a girl hunter shot before a man did. I will miss you my friend :( - Posted by: Georgia Skarpias (Member at Gateway Gun Club) on: Nov 28, 2013
