Lou Hollander received this from Deo Fasolino, Association 1st VP, deofazz621@gmail.com

Just wanted to tell you Hank has had a couple of bad weeks. The week before Mike's Anniversary Mass, Hank had hip replacement surgery. Right after the Mass, Hank had to go back into Hospital and redo the surgery, then he developed an infection. Thankfully, after a week in the hospital, he is home but recovery will take some weeks. He would love to get phone calls from our Transit Police family. His cell is 631-662-5567. If he doesn’t answer, he is getting treatments. Anyone who knows Henry knows he is a fighter.

Stay well, DEO.

Our prayers and best wishes go out to Henry. Not only was the setback of his operation bad, but the very next day after the Memorial Mass, Henry received the very sad news that Michael's daughter, who was unable to attend the memorial due to illness, had just passed away. If you can call Hank, we know he will appreciate it.

Lou Hollander received the following information from Roger Rodriguez. This is all the information Roger has at this time.

Lou got a call from Chris Hernandez (Pete Hernandez's son, tel # 610 316-2623), and apparently Pete is in the hospital in Brandon Fl. Margie Hernandez, his spouse, has passed. I have limited information but this is basic information I received from Chris.

Pete's neighbors had not seen Pete or Margie in a few days so they called the sheriff's office for a wellness check. The officers and EMT's had to break into the house. They found Margie dead and Pete was on the floor in a delirious state.

Pete is now in hospital and required surgery for some injuries sustained as he fell and could not get back up. Margie apparently passed while sitting in a recliner.

May Margie “Rest in Peace.” Please keep Pete and family in your prayers.
