 Vicki-Although we are far away in miles, we are forever together in spirit. I, and my  wife of 43+ years, Wendy, wish to express our deepest sympathy at the passing of Hank. Hank, Charlie Rengier, Bobbie Rowen, Don Barley, and I were close friends, often getting together for football watching, beer drinking, and partying in general!  It was always a fabulous time whenever we all got together! Now, we can only be together in our fondest memories. 
I am certain your beloved Henry is up above, enjoying his Heavenly Reward. A just Reward for a great life, lived to the fullest! Vicki, our thoughts and prayers are with you!   RIP, Henry!  You live forever in our hearts and minds!
With love and deepest sympathy,

Vicki- Since we have been living in 
Northern California since 1980, we have  been out of touch with things in Lancaster County. I was so shocked to read of Hank’s passing in Lancaster On-Line. My wife, Wendy, and I send our heart-felt condolences to you and your family. Hank was a good friend, always having a kind word for everyone. 
As they say, only the good die young…how true for Hank Thode. I am certain, however, that Hank will live forever in your heart! He was and is a good man, and will always be remembered as such. I am certain he is in Heaven right now  enjoying his Eternal Reward, awaiting the day when we will all be reunited. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
With love,
Paul and Wendy Rowan

My condolences to all that loved Hank and shared theri lives with him.  I knew Hank only briefly.  We were dorm mates at West Nottingham academy in the late 60’s.  I remember his good nature and sense of humor.  May Jesus comfort all of you even as He greets Hank into His kingdom.

My condolences  to Hank’s family. Hank’s parents and my parents were eachothers godparents. Growing up in Quaker Hills, Hank and I shared many adventures together. I always enjoyed catching up on the times we did get together. I know how proud he was of Adam and glad that Hank got to know his granddaughter. Already miss Hank dearly.   John and Whigham Family

Dear Vicki and Adam and Family,
So many kind words have already been presented on Hank it is difficult to find many more. I have had the pleasure and privilege of knowing Hank for the last 30 years. As so many have said his pride in his family was evident every day as he shared his precious memories of a recent event.
After our last presentation together we both agreed the extreme pleasure it is to work together. The many memories of those days can not be taken away and I will always cherish each moment. With his ever present smile will be one of the fondest.

Dear Vicki, Adam and family,
So sorry to hear of Hank’s passing. I will never forget all of the fun we had in the old days at Bent Creek. We had an amazing group of guys who would get together every Thursday night for “Pool Night” The rules were, you had to have an email and a sense of humor. 
Hank led the whole thing and hosted more than his share at your lovely home. He was so proud of the basement that he had finished mostly on his own.
Hank was always there to lend an ear and to provide that warm and friendly smile. I for one will never forget him. 
God bless all of you!

Although I really did not work with Hank on a daily basis at the Loomis Company, his presence here was sure a big and mighty one.  His beaming smile will surely be missed around here!  God Bless!  Susan Hardinger

So sorry to hear of Hank’s passing!
It has been many years since I have seen Hank but remember some great golfing days at Media Heights with his Lancaster gang, including Ronnie Weaver and a couple of golfing trips with Hank to Ocean City and Myrtle Beach.
Life is too short to end at 62 and the world has lost a great person and fierce competitor and great golfing budding.
My sympathy to all his immediate and extended families.
rest in piece my friend, no more suffering.

I’m so sorry to hear of Hank’s passing.  I had the absolute pleasure of working with Hank for 18 years and having a true friend during that time as well.  I have wonderful memories of stories Hank shared with me of the family and the love he had for each of them, especially Vicki, Adam, Joan and Madelynn.  I always admired the dedication he had to his work but most of all, his family. Truly an inspiration!   I will hold fast to the memory of our friendship, he will be deeply missed.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

Vicki,Adam,Joan and Family,
We were pivilaged to have worked and be friends with Hank for more than thirty years. He always put the interest of his clients first and was willing to help other producers and employees with a smile when ever they need it. We know how difficult and painful the last year and a half were since we would talk and see each other every few days. Through it all Hank had a way of always being positive and looking at the bright life. I told him the last time I saw him he was the toughest good guy I have ever known. We will miss him.

Dear Hank
You are now in a most wonderful place.  Someday we will see each other again and talk about our good times at Loomis.  Words just can’t express how I will miss our relationship.  So many laughs, so many problems to solve.  You always stayed so calm in spite of the situations we had to resolve together.  I think we taught each other alot. 
Have fun playing golf!  For you will have no more pain in doing all the things you loved so much.  Take care brother, I’ll see you on the other side oneday!

Poop. Worked with Hank for thirty plus years. I’d wander back and just sit a talk with him for a few minutes of sanity in our goofy business. I’d always tease him that I was the old, by a year or so, original Hank since I worked there longer. I’ve missed him since I retired and unfortunately will have to continue to do so. 
Be well Vic. 
Hank

Hank was a great friend and neighbor who we will deeply miss.  He was the first person we met when we moved into Bent Creek in 2007, and was the first to welcome us.  We will miss seeing him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
