Hank was the youngest of and attended country schools and Overton High School. He youngest of nine children. Hank grew up in the Overton and Lexington areas of Nebraska. Hank did not graduate from high school, but was so very proud of the fact that he received his GED in 1983, the same year his son, Kenny, received his diploma.

His biggest joy was being with the grandsons; whether just around home, camping, hunting and of course all their sporting events. He hated to miss any of the games. The boys were his pride and joy and he loved to tease them. Infact, Hank would tease just about anybody who could take a good ribbing!
