"font-family:">Hank always wanted to be a railroad man, and had the good fortune to live his dream. Starting as a fireman on a steam locomotive, he worked his way through the ranks to become a train engineer on the Frisco line.

"font-family:">Hank’s railroad buddies remained a cherished part of his life after retirement. Gary Gilliam was one of those railroad men mentored by Hank. Gary learned from Hank, and over the years Gary and his wife, Ruth, were loved more like family than friends.
