So sorry to hear about Hank. He’ll be missed by many.
Henry was my brother. The third in a family of six and probably the smartest of us all. His love for golf began when he was a teenager old enough to caddy. I remember him getting up in the wee morning hours to get in line. He was named after his father and was called “Little Henry” by the relatives. Pax Domini.
I worked for Hank at Lees Inn Corporate Office. He was a great guy to work with. I always admired his unique filing system. He had stacks of feasibility studies on the floor. He would be on the road somewhere and would call me and tell me to go to his office and the third stack from chair about half way down I would find the info he was seeking, sure enough, there it was. He knew where everything was. We shared many laughs and small talk. Prayers to his family.
I was just in one of the first motels constructed by Lees Inns in North Vernon on Thursday reminiscing the good old days with an old time employee of Lees Inns. I brought Hank’s name up and immediately smiled remembering our interactions over the years. Hank had a way about him that making friends was just part of his personality. God speed old friend – blessings to the family. Belinda
