May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Take care sir.

Hank,
Sorry to see you leave. Over the years I have purchased tools, parts & services from you and enjoyed many conversations over the phone. You have always been fair & honest. You take care of yourself & yours. Enjoy your adventures. Maybe, lord willing, the creek don't rise & the Russian's don't drop the bomb ;) We will have dealings again. Thanks.

Hank, as you know we had been looking for a house in Tennessee and almost made it to your house on one of our property searches. Now we have a place just north of you in Smithville just 15 miles from McMinnville so don't be surprised if you get a call from me after we get settled and we'll stop by. I can't see how you could give up posting here but I know you are very busy. If you are up this way please let me know and we can meet somewhere. I am still doing trips to Indiana so if you need anything let me know.

I agree with many of the previous comments. I have met Hank, his wife and his Father. All were extremely nice people. You have to be impressed with their knowledge and their capabilities.

I hate to see people like Hank leaving the Forum. I wish there was some way they would return.

Hank, hate to see you leave!

Yes, he helped me out a couple of time too.
Think there was a lot more then something that just happened because of one post. He had been getting rid of his T part for a while now. So what ever was going on, started a while back and that one post may have been the last straw. :(
