May you find Strength from the love and care that surrounds you and comfort in the memories that you shared. Please accept my sincere condolences. Isaiah 41:10
I am so sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. I was a Navy TAR like Hank, a former CO of VF-201, and when I retired from the Navy, Hank insisted that I apply to American as a Flight Instructor… despite the fact that they werern’t hiring at the time. A couple of years later when they began hiring instructors, Hank badgered the Training Manager until they called me. The rest is history…
Because of Hank’s persistence, Millie and I have now traveled standby to over 65 countries and we wouldn’t have done that without my good buddy, Hank! Rest in peace, my fellow flier friend!
