He took pride in his yard and loved detailing his vehicles in his spare time. Hank also enjoyed going to Taco Tuesdays and camping & fishing, but his biggest hobby of all was following his granddaughters Kelly & Kim all over to watch them play ball. He was known as ‘Grandpa’ to all of their friends. "Grandpa Hank" also loved his time with his great grandkids and always had his candy dish filled when they were coming over to visit. Hank was very proud of his hometown, Cordova. He loved sitting on his front porch ‘people watching.’ Whether it was the kids in town riding their bikes past or people out for a cruise, he loved the action. If he wasn't outside, he was most likely inside watching ‘Cops!’ Hank was preceded in death by his wife Donna; parents Henry & Bernice Jasinski; son Gary "Jake" Jasinski; and daughter-in-law Tonja Jasinski. Hank is survived by his daughter Tammy (Bill) Sladek; son Scott Jasinski; granddaughters Kelly (Mitch) Rischling and their children Kash, Kyah, Maelynn, Kimberly (Tanner) Gloystein and their son Parker; and a host of other relatives and friends.
