Hank also indulged in photography, trains, and beach outings in his free time. He found joy in the simple pleasures in life.

Hank is survived by his wife, Sharron; his daughters, Catherine (Rick) Tillery and Elizabeth Goliber; his step-daughter, Staci (Jeffrey) DuBosq; and his grandchildren, Kelly Goliber, Ben, Meighan, and Carolyne DuBosq.
