Our condolences to Hank’s family from Rowlett, TX. We have fond memories of Hank and my dad Dave Vojtech on their many adventures traveling together to the southwest through Texas in years past. We also enjoyed our visits with Hank while visiting my dad at Fountainview. May Hank rest in peace and may God bring you peace and comfort.
Joe,

Our prayers go out to your family and Hank. We got to know him when Sharon’s mom was there at fountain view. We will miss him.
