For Lisa, Stephanie & families - sorry to hear of another loss in your family.  Been thinking about you since seeing you so recently.  My husband Ed's father had Parkinsons also - it was not an easy time for the family.  Our love to you all.  Jackie, Ed & Sue. 10/24/10.

Our condolonces go out to the entire Gagliardi family. We are all sad at the loss of our dear "Uncle Henry".  We shared a lot of laughs and fun! He was especially kind to Sherry when she was a newlywed many years ago and she never forgot it! His notes and silly Christmas cards would follow. We always kept in touch. He had such a gentle way.  His smiling picture is beautiful and this is how we will all remember him-especially when he was talking with us and sharing anything about Paul and David.  He loved and cared for his family very much. A loving father (and Uncle) is more than any family can ask for. Rest in peace Uncle Henry.

Hank was a real special person, and I worked with him from his beginning at Public Loan right out of college.  I graduated at about the same time so we were friends and associates for a lifetime.

Everyone loved the "Silver Fox".  He made a wonderful impression on all who knew him.  He will be missed by his many friends from Public Loan.

We are saddened that there will not be a memorial service in the Binghamton area.

I have known Hank since the 1960's.  He became my boss in the 1970's and he was the best that I ever worked for.  I will always remember him for his kindness and friendship.  I will miss him greatly.

David, Maggie, Paul and Martha and families- The loss of Hank is one of the saddist days of not only all of your lives, but of mine also. I am so very gratefull for the few years that we shared together.  His goodness, kindness, generosity and love for me and Jay, Nichole, Chris and Matt will live on in my heart and mind forever.  I was blessed to get to know not only all the Gagliardis,  but also meeting Mrs. Strong, Eleanor and Tim, and people that he and Jane shared friendships with.  I can only imagine that "Tenderly" was playing for him as he was reunited with his precious Jane and his parents and brothers.  He was so very proud of you boys, the grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren , it brought him great joy in his life. He is healed and whole again and my memories will live in my heart and mind forever. The world lost a "great guy"  Fondly, Carol Demtrak-Moore

I have only known Hank for the last 5 years, through his long-time partner Reiko Buchanan.  Over this period I had come to know Hank as a gentle, caring soul who lived his life fully and loved all of the friends and fanily with whom he was surrounded.  I feel blessed to have known him, and I'm confident that he has found his place in heaven.  God's speed, Hank.
