Hank was my neighbor at Woodland Station Apartments. I was lucky to know him. He was always smiling and shared wonderful stories about his life with me. He was so kind and had such a great sense of humor.
My deepest condolences to the Shulman family. May he rest in peace. With sympathy, Cheryl

Hank was my uncle´s table mate and friend at Wingate . my uncle was new to the community as of September, and Hank made sure that he was made to feel welcome and informed him of all the activities and programs offered . When my husband and I went to visit uncle Stephen, he was always very gracious and friendly to us. We actually found out that he went to Harvard with my late father and that we are distantly related his mother and my great uncle Eddie were sister and brother . May this wonderful man he rest in peace. Fondly, Linda and Kenneth Rice

Uncle Hank - you were such an absolute rock in my life. For the past 48 plus years - ever since my dad passed (your younger brother), you stepped up and made me feel as though my dad's spirit was still alive and with me. The countless phone calls - the meet ups whether it be for a meal, a baseball game, etc, were all blessings for me. No matter the situation, when I heard your voice all would seem right. I can never express enough how absolutely and vitally important you were in my life. Our last phone conversation began with a bit of phone tag - and thankfully so because I now have your last voice message to me saved (and backed up of course) forever. Thank you for being the best uncle a nephew could ever hope for. You will be so missed, but not forgotten, not even for a second. I love you with all my heart Uncle Hank. Rest in peace and know that Eric, Brian, and I will continue on with our most special bond. Love you dearly, David
