Hank was one of the three conceivers/owners of Catbirds. Although a very bad heart condition brought an end to his trivia playing several years ago, in the early years of the location he was a fixture at the bar, encouraging people to play. I used to make a special effort to get there three times a week so we could puzzle through "Abused News" together. He had a very well-rounded knowledge of trivia (and a surprisingly deep one of rap music, which we used to tease him about).
Fittingly, his memorial service Sunday will be at Catbirds.
