He was also a member of APICS, the American Legion, and the Tiverton Rod & Gun Club. His faith was an essential aspect of his life, as he was an active communicant of St. Mary's Church.

Hank is lovingly remembered by his wife Elisabeth, his daughter Doreen Monkowski, daughter-in-law Lorrin Monkowski, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, brother Alfred Monkowski and sister Dianne Magnuson and her husband Chris.
