My deepest sympathy for your family. WHAT A GREAT GUY ! My office at Garden City Fan & Blower, NIles, Michigan was immediately next to Hammerin Hank as I called him. Henry would run out of his office and bellow in laughter when he heard my phone slam down, as I was manager of customer service. Henry would offer stellar advice or historical analysis in his deep voice. Henry and Donna then attended my wedding, October 24, 1981 after I had left GCF and went into sales elsewhere. Years later I remind friends of stories from my days at GCF and Hank is always a part of them. I know you will miss him, and please know he left a mark on folks even back here in Michigan and Indiana. God Speed, Hank ! David Riggs Granger, Indiana
