My condolences to the Greenstreet family. I didn't know Hank personally, but heard a lot about him through my son Dave who worked for him at Foxy's in Oswego, and from his son Jay who is one of my son Dave's best friends. Reports indicate that he was a great boss and father. Again, condolences. Bill Spence
