He was past president of the Transportation Club of Louisville, an honorary Kentucky Colonel, and former member of Lake Forest C.C., and Midland Trail G.C. where he greatly enjoyed playing golf.

Hank retired on his 71st birthday as Executive Vice President of Armstrong Relocation/United Van Lines after 41 years in the relocation industry.

He was preceded by his parents; sister, Kay Jean, and brother, Edward. Left to cherish his memory, his beloved wife, Frieda; daughter, Lisa (Jim) Borgmann of Louisville; three grandchildren: Drew, Sarah, and Jessica; one great-grandson, Kane Wooten, and many nieces and nephews.
