Hank was drafted into the Army at a young age and was proud to serve his country for two years. Once he returned home, he quickly found employment with United Airlines as Food Service Director. During his 43 year career with United Airlines, he had the opportunity to serve US astronauts and Russian cosmonauts during their trip around the United States.
In addition to his parents, Hank was also predeceased by his son, Jimmy Roberts.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 57 years, Susan; their children: Betsy Beamon, Sharon Gornati, and Gregory Roberts; their beautiful and talented grandchildren (3) and great-grandchildren (6); and many extended family members and dear friends.
A service will be held at Church of the Ascension in the near future. A date and time will be determined once family members return from out of state.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Church of the Ascension food pantry or a charity of your choice.
