Hank loved attending his family reunions every year and when asked how he was doing, he would reply, “I’m ornery, mean, cross, and cranky.” He also enjoyed the yearly fishing and hunting camps with his family. One of his favorite moments was on April 28, 2018 when he was on The Honor Flight, he stated that was his favorite trip.
Hank was a proud member of the Lyman K. Swenson DD729 association and loved attending the yearly reunion and visiting with his Navy family.
He loved playing Texas Hold’em with his Hazelwood family and looked forward to the 1st Friday of the month.
