Hank’s family coordinated a Memorial Service at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 7, 2019 at the Mapleton Community Center (County Road CW in Oconomowoc). Please join them from 3:00-4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the community center to gather and reminisce. This park was selected since this was where Hank’s last “feel good” day took place.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hanks family or to the American Diabetes Association and are appreciated.
Hank’s family would like to share their sincere gratitude to Hank’s caretaker and friend, Vicky Checolinski, the staff at the Pavilion of Glacier Valley in Slinger and Allay Hospice.
