What a remarkable man: gifted, funny, driven, inspiring. Not only did I have the pleasure of being one of his students, but I always became one of his Madison Height colleagues. When Henry obtained the National Endowment for the Humanities grant for MHHS, he also scored me a husband. Thank You Hank for all you have meant to so many of us at MHHS. Rest in Peace dear friend.

O Christ Jesus,
when we sense darkness
and feel our weakness,
grant the Reality of Your Presence,
Your Love, and Your Strength.
Help us hold in perfect trust
Your Protecting Love
and Strengthening Power,
so that nothing may discomfort us.
Living close to You,
we shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, and Your Will in all things. Amen.

We were so saddened to hear of Hank's passing but find comfort that he is in the hands of the good Lord. I will truly miss my talks with Hank, we talked of everything-politics, books, history, all was great conversation for us! A great guy that Mr. Hank and I am so blessed to have known him! Our sincere condolences to Barbara and family, may peace be with you all.
Melanie and I are so very saddened at Henry's passing. Henry placed a great deal of confidence in me when he chose me to fill a vacancy at Madison Heights in 1973, and I have always appreciated that support. He was a fantastic mentor, an outstanding educator, and a great friend. I know he touched many other lives as profoundly as mine. Our condolences to Barbara and the family.
Hank is one of the most kind, loving, forgiving men I have ever known. Talented. Interesting. Knowledgeable. I am sorry to have him gone from this world. Barbara, we love you and think of you. Bob and LaVon Torongeau.
I have known Barbara since college days and consider her to be a dear friend. We were so thankful that Hank and Barbara found each other and had such a good long life together. His talents and intellect will surely be missed.
I will miss Hank! He and Barbara were so very warm and welcoming to me. He was a wonderful cook and their home was a place of refuge for me on several occasions. Rest In Peace, dear Hank.
