Most of you reading this won’t know me and my wife Connie. We have had the intoxicating privilege of being friends with Hank for over 40 years. Actually, Connie and Maryann have known each other since 3rd grade. It is for this reason that Hank and I would sometimes get into trouble with them. (It wasn’t anything that Hank and I did).
Connie’s 1st trip abroad was to Italy with Hank & Maryann, back in 1982! (Ethan’s origin story). Trips with the four of us included Iceland, Croatia, Italy, Alaska, California, Grand Canyon, Glacier Park, Colorado, Canada, the Baltic, Norway, the Netherlands and more.
We have too many inebriated stories to tell. On one occasion, I recall being stopped by police as we tried to drive into Sienna, Italy, just days before the famous horse race, Il Palio. Hank claimed (in Italian) that we already had hotel reservations and the police let us through. Miraculously, we got the last rooms available! Then, from the lobby of the hotel, we heard men singing as they led a horse to the central square. Naturally, we followed and were thrilled to see a practice round. As I was trying to get a picture from above the raceway, Hank knocked on a random door of an apartment surrounding the track. Later, I learned that he told the people (in Italian) that I was a famous photographer from the US – and they let us in! These are just a couple examples of Hank’s natural abilities as a leader. Faced with uncertainty when traveling, I will always ask myself “What would Hank do?”
The four of us explored the world together, sometimes remarking “We might not be back this way again.” Hank, we can’t return to those places with you, but its been the journey of a lifetime. You will always be in our hearts.

I’m so sorry to learn of Hanks passing. I’ll remember Hank most for living large, competing fiercely , and loving life and family. One who showed a genuine interest in whomever he was with. Just happy. My condolences to Mary Ann and the boys. Continued prayers for you all.

Hank was my partner at Brighton Radiology for a few years. He was a really good guy and I enjoyed working with him a lot. He and I would spend time just talking about stuff. Hank was definitely a professional role model for me. Hank was an extremely hard worker and very efficient. Everyone was always happy when they worked the weekend with him. He would always pull his weight and then some Also, he really knew medicine. I was really sorry to see him leave. He would use me as a professional reference frequently at his various stops in different places around the country so I could always tell he was doing well. This was a shock to me. Last time I saw him he was full of life and it’s hard to picture him any differently.I feel very badly hearing about his passing. I give my deepest condolences to his family.

It was my good fortune to meet Hank on the tennis courts at Poland swim club. We played many a men’s tennis night together on Mondays as well as getting together for singles action at times. Hank was that individual who always made you feel better about yourself when you were around him. He was very generous and took me to a few Steelers games. Hank was a great family man with an awesome wife and children. He will be greatly missed.

I loved my Uncle Hank very much. He has such a calm, fun, and loving way about him. Whenever I got to see him which sadly wasn’t often enough he made me feel happy and loved.
Whenever he and Aunt Maryann came to NyC, they always made time to see us, whether it was dinner, coming to visit me at work, or even one special trip to the Bryant Park Christmas Market.
I feel incredibly grateful that I got to see him this past April and spend a day with him before we lost him. I will cherish that time with him forever and miss him more than words can say.
I’m so grateful to have had him as my uncle. I truly couldn’t have been luckier. 💕

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best. Ultimately, it is what's inside us, and what we do with it, that defines us.
Hank lived up to that challenge. He did the right things. He lived a life of dignity, caring for his family, cherishing the love of his wife and children, and earning the respect of everyone who knew him.
Hank lived with a spirit filled with caring and generosity, which he gave to his family and extended freely to relatives and friends. He accepted the responsibility of caring for others and extended kindness wherever he could. When asked, he gave. When called upon, he delivered.
As we all pass through this earthly presence, what we leave behind is how our lives are measured. Hank passed the test.
I will miss Hank. I will miss his view of the world. His was a positive light that contributed to the brightness we all need to nurture.

My husband and I met Hank and MaryAnn many years ago in the Fonderlac days. We had the pleasure of playing golf together as couples a few times. Bob and Hank shared a love of classical music and enjoyed some great conversations. Hank was always friendly. He had a great smile and warm greeting every time I would see him, whether it was on the golf course or at the dental office. My husband passed four years ago, so I understand how painful his loss is for your family. You will miss him in a million different ways. Your memories of him are precious and you will carry him with you every day. Please accept my most sincere condolences.
With love and prayers, Bobbie

How does this sound.
We enjoyed so many wonderful travels and memories with Hank and MaryAnn. Hank was such an easy person to travel with, and we shared some truly great times together.
Hank was incredibly giving when it came to his family. He worked almost until the very end to provide for the people he loved, and he gave so freely and generously. He loved all of you deeply and always wanted to make sure you were taken care of. He was so proud of each of you and your accomplishments.
I will always remember Hank for his generous and giving spirit, especially when it came to the people he loved. He was a wonderful friend, and I feel very fortunate to have shared so many special memories with him.
I know he will be deeply missed by all of you, as well as by the many friends whose lives he touched.

I never had the opportunity to meet Hank, but I spent a fair amount of time with Ethan. I believe we are reflections of those who created us, and Ethan has an amazing sense of adventure, curiosity, and exploration. There is a tenacity and vibrancy to the way you experience him in life, and visiting this site, and reading about Hank, I can see the reflections of his father. I’m grateful for Hank, as he created one of the better human beings I know on the planet. Big ups Hank! I salute you, and grateful for what you brought into this world.

Hank always had a great sense of humor, loved to break the rules and was loyal. I was introduced to Hank and Mare through his friend. I loved Hank like a brother.
Great memories of trips, (the falling arch, the Achilles tendon injury) dinners, comedy clubs( the amazing belt buckle he was wearing), plays and even a few Steelers games. I will miss you Hank. Even though I don’t know shit, I am confident we will see each other again!
My sibs share in my grief and extend their love to Mare , Ethan and Aaron.

Dear Maryann, Ethan and Aaron,
Our sincerest sympathy and condolences to you upon Dr Hank’s passing. Continue to cherish all of the great memories of such a fine partner, father and physician. I won’t forget our impromptu “learned medical discussions” out on our street or at the mailbox. I enjoyed his candor and reflections. It is great to have you as neighbors and we too will miss seeing him.
In prayers, David & Mary Jo

My buddy Hank and I played golf all the time. As golfers know, there are good and bad days!! I recall, on more than one occasion, Hank would have a 10-12 foot putt that he would leave short. He would scream at the top of his lungs, “hit the ball Alice”!!! It wasn’t funny at the time but it was memorable!!! Now, every time I leave a putt short, I’ll think of my dearest friend!!

I was so sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. He was a wonderful, kind, and generous man. I will
always remember hanging out in NYC, going to see shows on Broadway with Ethan, Hank, and Maryann. The whole family always treated me like a daughter. Through Ethan and social media I would watch his parents travel the globe – going on adventures. Ethan and I would always laugh about how they are living their best lives. I always admired them for it. I will keep the whole family in my heart and prayers, and take comfort knowing he is still watching over them all.

If it weren't for Hank, I never would have met the love of my life. He politely asked for my friend and I to move down a seat so he and his family could sit together.
I am grateful and privileged to be able to share the time we had together and will always remember his vitality, humor and humility. Hank welcomed me into his life without abandon and I can only try to honor him by living my life the same way.
