Hank was such a wonderful kind, thoughtful and extremely helpful guy. I don’t think he knew how to relax 🥰because he was always on the go staying involved in family activities. That was so important and enjoyable to him. I will miss him at family events but the memories will keep us smiling. 💙

Hank was a good man, a good husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He was a gentleman who had quiet dignity and was very gracious. Because he was part owner of a store near us, I have known him since I was 11; he became part of a very large family when he married my cousin, Lily. I remember his Dad who also had that same quiet dignity. Hank and Lily loved each other deeply and were involved in the lives of their seven sons and attended many games in support of them. I watched him interact with his grandchildren; his love and care was obvious. Eternal life grant unto him, oh Lord, and let perpetual life shine upon him.

What an honor be Hank’s brother-in-law. I think he considered John and I his 8th and 9th sons. He and Lily always made sure to involve us in everything they did. The many trips to the shore have created lasting memories. What an inspirational role model he was. Hank will be missed, but his spirit, smile and legacy will live on and thrive through all of us.

Sending condolences to the family of Hank. Being on the younger side of the family, I did not know many of the family members after the Grandmom Ward's picnics stopped. Whenever I saw Hank at family gatherings, he always spoke to me. I frequently tell others about how a cousin of mine had 7 boys trying for a girl:) Glad Hank had a blessed life and I now pray he rests in peace.

Hank always greeted everyone with a welcoming, warm smile. Hank had such a kind, caring nature that was truly wonderful to be around. He was a loving, family man that adored his wife and was always willing to do whatever was needed for his family. His family meant everything to him. He had a way about him that made you feel like you too were one of his own. I feel blessed to have known him. He was a one-of-a-kind gentleman, a true class act. I see many of his remarkable attributes in each of his sons. He left all of us with fantastic memories to cherish going forward. Thoughts of him will always be treasured. ❤

When Joe and I grew up our brother-in-law Hank and sister Lil were like a second set of parents to us. We were uncles at six weeks old. Their youngest son was born twelve years later. Our friends called them our cousins instead of nephews. We were always involved with them at birthday parties, the holidays, vacationing at the Jersey shore every summer and other trips. We have fond memories of Hank - his youthful personality, his sense of humor (I learned from him how to joke with a straight face), his love of animals and sports, and his devotion to his family. I know he always told Lil I won’t let you down. He was always helpful sharing household chores, running errands and being involved with the kids sports teams. Hank was a fighter to the end and always had a positive attitude despite his health challenges. We’ll miss him but we’re glad he lived a long and full life.

Grandpop was always there watching my dance shows when he could. It makes me sad that he won’t be there any more but knowing that he is proud of me is all I want. I will miss my Grandpop very much. I will miss FaceTime with Grandmom and Grandpop and laughing because they can’t work technology, and I will miss talking on the phone with him on my birthday every year. Going to their house on holidays will never be the same without him but he is always here with us. I love him and always will just like so many other people around me. He lived a great life and I will miss him so much.

Sorry for your loss
Prayers to the family

My Grandpop was very special to me, and always supported me. He would come to my dance recitals and all my sporting events. During covid, him and Grand-mom would always watch my games online. They would send encouraging texts saying I played well. I also have so many memories from him coming down to the shore. We would always get Manco and Manco, or have family parties. I will miss Grandpop so much.
