Always a sad time when another PT BOAT VETERAN is called home. I am sure that his last year here on earth was a toiugh one being in a Nursing home.Rest assured that he will now again be reunited with those that went before him, keeping those throbbing Packard Engines running full speed, his boat heading for home................

Russ:
Am sorry to hear of Hanks last patrol. Our crewmates are dwindling fast and it's sure tough to lose them.

my condolences to hank,s son and family.another of the "crew" of pt boaters has passed on,as we all must do eventually.but,when we go on "our": last patrol it will be another type of patrol with our former shipmates and friends and family.in a way it is something for all of us to look forward to.as we grow older we tend to forget some of the things we had before.now we know/or hope/we can relive ourselves in a better place and time.i pray that hank is now "having a ball" with his former shipmates and sailing with a cool breeze thru eternity. earl
hi hank. have one on me.my treat.
