Extremely sad to hear from Steve Hughes that it appears Hank committed suicide this morning. I got the news from steve who said he had talked with wang so believe it is sadly legit.
Hank was a fantastic brother, extremely energetic in everything airborne, I had the honor of serving with him in 2 Para and the Regimental aid Post and took his position as P coy Medic when he returned to battalion - we both ended up working in the oilfield, I had some hand in helping him get initial interviews, but in his own way Hank forged ahead and made a great name for himself in the industry.
Too gutted to give too many stories now but I am sure thare are so many of us out there that were touched by him and are so much the better for that interaction.
I hope he is at peace now and that Carol and the Kids get all the support they are going to need to get over this tragic end to a wonderful life. Thoughts and prayers to them.
