'Hank' was raised in Sheboygan with his older brother 'Fritz'. Their forebears came from Germany and settled in Wisconsin between 1842 and 1853. When Hank was two, his father served in WW I in France. Hank's first job was delivering the Saturday Evening Post when he was in elementary school. After high school he attended Citizens Military Training Camp, and graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1938 as an engineer. He was employed by Kings Ammunition Co at Dayton, Ohio. After WWII service as Captain in the Army's 13th Engineers, 7th Inf Div on Attu and later at the Pentagon with Army G-2 (where he prepared daily briefings for the General Staff), Hank worked as design engineer with E I DuPont de Nemours at Parlin, NJ; Rochester, NY; and Wilmington, Del. Before retiring in 1978, he had traveled on business to Brazil, Mexico, Germany, England and Sweden. Hank's interests included stamp collecting, wood- and metal-working, radio assembly, watch and clock repair, military history and genealogy. He compiled his family history and that of his wife Nan Feeley, tracing her roots into Europe and typing his own manuscript in 1975 with revisions into the 1980's. Hank and Nan enjoyed retirement, traveling and having a log home built near Danville, Vermont in 1978 where they enjoyed 22 summers. He wrote "A History of Danville Roads" and "Amidst the Tumult and the Shouting", a chronicle of his World War II experiences. Hank was interred at Arlington with military honors. He was survived by his wife of 62 years Anna 'Nan' Feeley; their four children Karl, Cammie, Diana and Ed; twelve grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren.
