DEAR FRIENDS,

I REALY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE THIS WEBSITE. I HOPE IF ANY OF YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE YOU WILL PASS IT ALONG TO EVERYONE WHO KNEW HANK. HE PASSED AWAY IN HIS SLEEP JULY 1, 2006. FISHING WAS HIS 1ST PASSION BUT THE PADRES AND BASEBALL WAS ALMOST AS IMPORTANT TO HIM. I KNEW NOT TO SPEAK AT ALL, IF A GAME WAS ON. IF THE WORLD ENDED DURING A GAME, I DO NOT THINK HE WOULD HAVE NOTICED.

HE WAS KNOW BY MANY NAMES DEPNDING ON WHAT HE WAS DOING OR WHO HE WAS E-MAILING.

HANK

THERE WILL BE A LUAU AT WAIANAE BOAT HARBOR FOR ALL HIS FRIENDS, ON AUG 12, 2006. OAHU HAWAII

THERE WILL BE A GATHERING WITH AN HONOR GARD TO PLACE HIS ASHES IN PUNCHBOWL AUG 14, 2006. OAHU HAWAII

IF SOMEONE WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO GET ABOUT A TABLE SPOON OF DIRT FROM BOTH THE OLD AND THE NEW STADIUM, I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IT IN THE BOX WITH HIS ASHES.

I HAVE KNOWN HANK SINCE 1963 WHEN I MET HIM IN SAN DIEGO CA. I DATED HIM AND WAS ENGAGED TO HIM IN 1966-1967 IN YOKOSUKA JAPAN. MY FATHER DID NOT LIKE AT THE TIME AND SENT ME BACK TO THE USA. WE LOST EACH OTHER. BUT AS THEY SAY, IT WAS MENT TO BE. I HEARD HIM LAUGH AT A SOFTBALL GAME ON PEARL HARBOR SUB BASE IN 1983. WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE THEN.
