Hank had 10 grandchildren and six great- grandchildren. Hank served in the U. S. Marines. Early on he raised horses and participated in rodeos. He enjoyed skiing at Greek Peak with friends. With a growing family he started his own successful building business. Hank could fix just about anything and he made a knockout pasta sauce. Ever the joker and quick with a one-liner he was a real prankster. Once he convinced his young grandchildren that money grew on trees. He did this by hanging dollar bills with bread wrapper ties on one. The kids’ just stared wide-eyed and soon began picking. He liked to entertain the kids by feeding peanuts to two squirrels, which he named Luigi and Pasquale. He kept his sense of humor up to the very end. There will be no calling hours. There will be a private burial for family only. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in memory of Hank at the St. Jude’s Children Hospital at 262 Danny Thomas Pl, Memphis, TN. 38105.
