About	November 2, 1924- January 18, 2018 With sadness and appreciation of a long well lived life, the family announces his passing. Henry, known better as Hank, was born in Gary, Indiana and graduated from Horace Mann High School. He served in the Navy during World War II. He went on to Ball State University, where he played All-State football, and graduated with a degree in Education. He met the love of his life, Gladys Rosa, (preceded in death 2014), when they were students at Ball State. They married Oct. 2, 1948. They moved to California in 1963 where they taught in the San Bernardino school district until their retirement. Hank is survived by his two grown children, Dr. Sharon Yurko of Colfax, Ca. and his son in law Stephen Yurko, and Dr. Mark Rosa of Moreno Valley and his daughter in law Debbie Rosa. He also has four grown grandchildren, Ryan & Katey Yurko and Josh & Zachary Rosa of which he was very proud. Hank loved his neighbors, loved his friends at Bridge Club, loved eating breakfast every week with his best friend Jim. Hank loved UCLA football and the Angels and was the youngest of six brothers. He was the coolest "old dude" we knew. We will miss him deeply and forever cherish the memories.
