Many fond memories of lifeguard Hank Oidtman at Sunset Lake during my youth. Sincerest condolences to the family. Rest in peace. Doug Henson Venice, Florida
Kirk: Please accept our deepest heartfelt sympathy for your mother’s passing. May she rest in God’s loving arms forever. God Bless Us All.
It was very shocking to see Hank’s name in the obituaries. She was a regular at my old job and I absolutely loved seeing her every time she came in. She always had a smile and a quick comment and she loved giving me heck. I adored her for that. She always brightened my day. I am sad to see that she is gone. Rest in Peace Hank. Remember don’t get caught. <3
