Henry (Hank) was a graduate of Benedictine Military School, class of 1961 where he excelled in a variety of sports and was inducted into the Benedictine Wall of Fame. He received many awards and achievements including first team All State and All American Honors to mention just a few. He also received multiple football offers but ultimately signed with the L.A.

He was drafted in the US Army and chose to go to Officer Candidate School where he became an officer. He was honorably discharged as First Lieutenant. Life landed him in Atlanta where he was an assistant golf pro at East Lake Country Club. It was while in Atlanta he found his second passion and began his career in investment banking. He opened his own investment firm in Boca Raton, FL and after retiring early, he spent time doing what he loved. He enjoyed entertaining, traveling, golfing, snow skiing and the beach with his family. In 2016, he was honored to be inducted to the Greater Savannah Athletic Hall of Fame. He was a natural leader in all aspects of life and accepted that role with the utmost respect.

He was a loyal friend, very generous and giving, and a remarkable mentor to many people throughout his lifetime. But above all, he was a devoted and loving husband, father and Papa.

He is leaving a long legacy of precious memories for us to cherish.
