My sister, Lisa, introduced me to Hank back in 1998 in Jacksonville, NC and from that point on we were the best of friends. Over the years i came to greatly respect him for being a genuinely good and caring person. I will never forget all the good times we had. Hank will always be like a brother to me. Our family is here anytime you need us Lisa.

Hank was a great person. Jeff and I really enjoyed him in the youth group at Trinity Methodist Church in Andrews. I recently saw him again at the DMV in Myrtle Beach(his company cleans there). He was still just as sweet as ever. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family. Love to all, Rene' Parks (Wildes)
