While working at Family Pathways I got to know Hank . He always came with a smile and a hug. Making the work day a little lighter and definitely more fun! Hank is now enjoying all the blessings God has waiting for him in heaven. Hugs to his lovely wife Elaine.

Dear Aunt Elaine and Family, Many years ago my husband Randy and I were able to meet with you and Uncle Hank and share a special time remembering some good times. Jim, your son, came and had dinner with us that night. It is a great memory of you and Uncle Hank. I also remember my mother, Ruth (Toots), talking a lot about all of her memories with all of her siblings and her wonderful trips. In spite of us, (The Riley’s),moving to California my mom was able to spend quality time with her siblings, which I know she cherished and talked about a lot and often. May Uncle Hank Rest In Peace and I am praying for you and all family to have peace and comfort at this time. Your niece, Jodi (Riley)Barb
Danny, Dave and family- Deepest sympathies for the loss of your dad. May you hold dear your fondest memories. Mike & Jani (Dehn) Busch
I went pheasant hunting for the first time when I was 14 with Uncle Hank and cousin Dan. Boy did I look up to them! Probably fitting that he passed away during pheasant season. As I take the field tomorrow I will sure think of him and that time. God bless you. John Houle, Jr.

You were a great friend to my parents – to my dad for 90+ years. You were like an uncle to me – so close to our family. One of the best story and joke tellers I have ever met. Thank you for the laughs and the good memories. Rest peacefully in God’s Heaven. Teri
Dearest Houle Family, May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief. Please accept my sincere condolences. Raquel Reed
