@Marissa Carter Hank must have been a talented and heartfelt friend t o many, many people. I am a friend of his dad’s, and I must say I am very impressed at how many people liked Hank, loved Hank and will certainly miss him deeply. Thanks for all the love for Hank, RIP.
@Maisy McVicar I’m Hank’s sister and I must say, aside from the few ridiculously stupid and disrespectful comments, this board is really great. It is nice to know he affected so many people. You all were lucky to know him. Thanks to whomever posted this.
@Anonymous Hank was in my Gateway Lab group freshman year (and we actually all got along, believe it or not). Rest in peace, Hank. Condolences to his family.
@Anonymous Hank lived on my floor in Furnald a couple years ago, and he seemed like a wonderful guy. I wish I had gotten to know him a bit better. Rest in peace, Hank, and to his family and friends, I am extremely sorry for your loss.
@RIP I hope wherever he is, Hank is in peace.
Condolences to his family and friends.
@Anonymous lived in john jay near him freshman year. i remember he was into hip hop, especially 2pac and common, and the lakers. type of guy who went to bed every night at 5AM. great dude, really sad loss
@Anonymous he didn’t like the lakers. in fact, im pretty sure he hated them
@Serg Hank was a great guy in my Japanese class last fall. He told me hilarious stories of Tokyo that helped me make the decision to study abroad this year. Hank, I wish I got to know you better. RIP
@Only hung out with Hank once or twice but he seemed like an incredibly genuine guy. My heart goes out to his family

@Can someone upload a pic of this kid? or link to his fb? My heart goes out to his family.
@Anonymous Didn’t he graduate last year?
@calm down people its just a question.
@Well, The presence of the qualifier “SEAS ’10” in the headline certainly suggests as much.
@wow it’s very sad that he died…
but seriously guys, he was only asking question. not to be disrespectful or anything.
@blarg hot damn that kid’s dad has an IMDB profile for him. shit.
@blarg UHH…why did this get 9 dislikes? i dont get it? i stated a factual comment? if you google his dad he has an IMDB page and is a known actor.
seriously columbia what the fuck is wrong with you?
@anon and a wiki page
@Anonymous Seriously. Why the fuck are you guys so uptight.
@Anonymous Not always but… most of the time, if you find yourself saying “everyone is crazy but me!”
it’s probably you.
@mlk is crying in his grave right now.
@Anonymous Crazy isn’t always a bad thing. Stop making everything someone says so freaking universal! I mean shit, am I a racist now?
This isn’t the thread for this discussion anyway. Sorry, Hank…
@Anonymous r.i.p, Hank.
@Mr. Cellaneous Gem of a person. Always made everyone smile. Lived life to the fullest. You will be missed Hank!
