    I worked with Hank way back in the mid-90’s… His knowledge in the hydraulic / pneumatic field was very impressive… We never had the chance to do anything outside of the working world together, but always enjoyed his company..

    Hank was one if the best in our industry and I’m damn proud to have had him as a teacher of the trade. He probably forgot more than I’ll ever know about the hydraulic Industry. Taught me that going that extra mile to satisfy your customers would result in a customer for years to come. You will be greatly missed my friend. Now you can push the manual override on the main relief and let it flow.
    Jr, from my family to yours our prays and love are with you guys.
    Thank you Hank ! R.I.P. my friend.
