You were my oldest and best Quickbooks student. I was going to have you come to work for me.

Hank will certainly be missed. His laughter was infectious and I will miss hearing it during the summers at Saquish. He was such a talented wood turner and I will cherish a bowl of his that we received at our first getaway weekend when we were told that we had won the bowl but to claim it we had to run the next one. He is probably now running the cribbage tournaments in the sky with all of the players that have gone before him. My sympathy to all of you. Anna

I can't say that I was a close friend of Hank's. I wish I could. I only spoke with him 2 or 3 times at woodturners' meetings which he hosted in his workshop. Still, each time I spoke with him I learned something. He was a very patient, considerate and generous gentleman. Like I said: I WISH I had been a close friend of his. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Sorry for your loss. Great man. You guys turned out well also. Love Sully

Hank was a good man, a good friend, and an inspiration to myself and to many others who shared his love of wood. His talents in carving and turning wood were admired by all of us who knew him. He presence will be missed, but memories of his jovial encouragement will long endure. Sarewell, old friend... its been good to know ya!

20 or more years of friendship at the woodturning clubs. CNEW and MSSWT.

Dear Family, So sorry to hear that Hank is gone. You are all reflections of his love, his zest for life, and strong faith. Our hearts are with you all..Love, Cathy & Kevin

Another saquish great, I have the fondest memories of Hank as child growing up at saquish, wether it was all the tuna trips they took or the toothpick in his mouth he was the kindess man I knew. We will all miss his presence but will never forget him. I have a candle stick he carved on my mantle God speed Hank, Joanne

My deepest condolences to Jane, Damien and the entire Cahill family. When I have my first memories of Saquish I remember this nice, big family from Abington that were out there also. The Cahills. As a teenager working at the Pancake King I got to know Jane. Then @ Condon's / T.J.'s.... here comes "the baby", Damien tending bar. Years later, right up on the corner from my house, "Damien's". Seems these Cahill people have been in my life for most of the time and that's a good thing as they're 'good people'. I always thought that the parents had the biggest hand in raising good children and Mr & Mrs Cahill have done something right. I remember smiling when I read a newspaper article about 'Hank' and his birdcarving. I thought , "this man knows how to live. Always keep learning no matter what your age. It keeps you young.". He was a legend. I just spoke to my brother Hootie, (Bob) last week about Hank and then I saw it in the paper. Losing your Dad is such a monumental time in your life. Hold on to all those great memories. With Love & Sympathy, Janet (Burpee) & Dennis Litchfield

Peter, Chris, Jane and family, Hank was a great person and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless

Hank- You were always there for me when I began learning how to use a lathe rand turn a piece of wood. You were an inspiration as a leader. I feel privileged to have known you.

To Henry's family I am so sorry.I always enjoyed his company so much.

I will miss seeing Hank sitting at my desk at the Bank. I loved how such a big man with a booming voice could have such a light-hearted laugh. He was one of a kind and I loved him.

To all of the Cahills, I met your dad at the now Abington Bank 6 years ago. It always brightened my day to wait on him at the drive up window (and any of the Cahills). I went on the house tour a few years ago and was so impressed with his kitchen. I kept telling him that someday I wanted to cook with him in his kitchen. He was a lovely man and raised an incredible family. I am so sorry for your loss. Betty Ann Doherty

My late brother Walt and Hank were close friends when they were both apprentices at the shipyard many, many years ago. we were friends with Lucy and he while we lived on Summer St. Just a GREAT guy always with a grin on his face and a good word for everyone. I also knew his brothers George and Buddy And sister Kathy and of course MA Cahill when she ran the cafeteria at the high school. My condolences to all. Russ

Regina and Family: So sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May all your memories help comfort you.

To the entire Cahill Family. Wishing you strength and peace, with my deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your Dad. Hank could always put a smile on each face every time you saw him. He was a true gentleman and a gentle person that will be missed greatly. You are all fortunate to have ha two wondeerful parents. A friend from Abington, Saquish and now Middleboro. Joyce Olson Durnin

Thinking of your family at this difficult time.. I had the pleasure of meeting your Father a few times at Christo's Restaurant and can remember his calm, sweet personality. Always a smile. May the happy memories you will share be forever in your hearts. Fondly, Miss Jeanne & Bubba

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Cahill some years back working at HoneyDew where him and his buddies would come for coffee when i first met him i said you look just like Capt Bob, he laughed and from then on when he would come in I would call him Capt Bob, a true gentlemen, pleasant to talk to to you and your family , sorry for your loss.

To the entire Cahill family I would like to convey how sorry I am to hear the news that Hank had passed away. I moved to Abington from Whitman in 1960. I was 8 years old and I did not know anyone. This wonderful girl came one day and asked my mother if she could show me around the neighborhood. Her name was Bridget Cahill. I thought she was the best person I have ever met. Another time, she took me fishing at Island Grove Pond and somehow I got a fish hook caught in my a**. I still think about her and miss her. This was how I first got to know the family. When it comes to all the Cahill's it has always been good memories for me. Hank was a wonderful guy and he will be missed.

Dad, You taught us all there is to know.. we will never let you go If I could be half the man you are.... I will see you again... Your Caboose

May the peace of our loving Heavenly Father and the love of family and friends give all of the Cahill family comfort in the days ahead. Hank was an Abington treasure and he will be missed by all.

Dear Jane & Gina, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Dad. it has been years, but I remember him coming to Uncle Charlies. What a nice, jovial man.I am sure you both, as well as your family, have some wonderful memories of such a fun loving Dad. My heart and love go out to all of you. We live in Alabama after 8 yrs., in Fl. Please drop me a line when you can. May Mr. Hank rest in peace with all his wife and Bridget. Love & friendship. Claire

Prayers and thoughts to the Family and Friends. We will miss you Hank.

The Cahill family was a solid force with many great memories for the whole Gurney family on Hancock Street, Abington during the 40's & 50's. Hank will never be forgotten. The Gurneys

To All the Cahills. Hank was a legend and we are proud to have known him and call him a friend Love, Larry and Mary

Good Knight Dad I love you and will miss you more than any words can express #2 son

So sorry to hear of Hanks passing--He was one in a million. Hank lived life the way it should be lived and gave back so much to all. I remember one day Hank giving me a ride home, taking a log out of my wood pile and confusing me. That is until he returned with a bowl he made from the log. He was amazing, and I cherish that bowl. My heart felt condolences to his family. He will be truly missed Carol Batson (widow of Bob Batson)

Love you, Hank. From She Who Must Be Obeyed

Sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Cahill Family, We had the pleasure of knowing both your mother and father for 25 wonderful years on Saquish Beach! What fun we had on the St. Patrick's Get-Away Weekends! Everyone wanted to win Hank's prized beautiful wooden bowl! What a wonderful GENTLEman your dad was. Our sincere sympathy to you all. Janet & Jack Levangie

To Pat and the Cahill Family, My deepest sympathy to all of you. I was very fortunate to know Lucy and Hank and I know he will be greatly missed by all... You are in my thoughts and prayers... I cherish the pieces from Hank I am fortunate to have Nancy

To the family of Mr Cahill, so very sorry for your loss. It's so hard to let go of the people so very special in your lives.

I can remember working for Hank at the lobster bake in west abington. I looked for the announcement in the paper. As usual the paper screwed up, it wasn;t there. I worked for his family at all the football games concession stand. Worked with Aggie at the caferteria at the high school. Jusn6iv7t a wonderful family to know. Sad to hear that Hank is gone. He will be missed by so many. Chris (Westberg) Greenough

TO THE CAHILL FAMILY, ABINGTON HAS LOST SOME OF IT'S PERSONALITY. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. WALTER AND NORMA EASTTEY

It was a cold and blustery Sunday morning a few years ago with the snow coming down hard and fast. So hard and fast, in fact, that there were only seven people made it to the 7:30 Mass at St. Bridget's. Hank was one of them. He was a good man and a good Catholic. He is with the God whom he loved so much.

Dear Cahill family, Although I have not seen Hank for many years. He and my late husband so enjoyed the Gurnet and Saquish together. I just had to write after seeing your wonderful photos. He also is responsible for construction work at our two cabins. What a kind and gentle man. We are all enriched for having know such a gentleman. sincerely, Barbara

Words can't express my feelings. What a great guy and a huge loss to everyone that knew him. My deepest sympathy to the whole family. God bless

Love you Hammer. Your attitude towards life inspires me so much. I am glad that I got to spend so many years with you and even got to make my own bowl on the lathe with your help. Love, O

Hank, you are and will forever be a true legend. we will always remember you with fondness, a warmth in our hearts, and smiles on our faces.

Oh what a sweet,sweet man. A nice word and smile for everybody. He will be missed so much but deserves his well earnt rest. Our thoughts are with the Cahill family as they cope through these difficult days. Thank you Hank for everything!!! Gill and Nigel Howe.

Even though I'm years late, I still wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear of his passing. In the year that I lived under his roof while attending trade school, he welcomed me graciously, and I very much enjoyed time spent talking to him, and hearing about his very interesting life. His love must have been passed down to his grown children as well, as they all were very kind to me. Hank's parting gift to me was a small beautiful wood bowl that he made, that even now as I write this sits a few feet from me on my mantle. My young kids have asked me about it, and with pleasure I tell them about the nice man in the beautiful old house that made it for me. Goodbye Hank!

Dear Pat and Family, We are so sad to hear about your Dad's passing. We hope your many precious memories of him will help you through this very difficult time. We are here for you. Love and Peace to all the Cahill's. Darlene & David Zarella

Hank was a wonderful guy. He will be sadly missed. I have too many memories to list. I will remember his sense of humor and his beliefs in politics esp town politics. I learned to let him speak and keep my mouth closed. I will treasure the pumpkin pin he gave me last year for Halloween and the invitation to go to saquish any time I wanted. He even wrote a note on the back of his card to add me to his list. I havent gone yet but I still have his card. I will miss our morning coffee at Dunks while he ate his bran muffin before cribbage on Tuesday and Friday mornings.

All of us Condon's have such great memories growing up with the Cahill family. Bridget always stopping by at our house on her jog from Abington to Whitman and back, Hank and Lucy driving us out to Saquish with about a dozen of us sitting on top of the beach wagon hanging on for dear life to the roof racks and runnig through the biggest house ever and getting lost sometimes and having Hank around the corner from us just watching us with his great big smile. I feel blessed to be a little part of his life. Rest in Peace Hank Kathy Roache

TO THE CAHILL FAMILY, For all the great times at Saquish. Tuna fishing on the " Bridget " and all the laughs we have shared over the years. For the saddness we feel now, on the loss of " Hank ". God bless all. Forever Friends - Donna Berry and Family .

Just wanted to let you all know how sorry I'am for the loss of your Dad. My sympathy to all of you what a great family he had. Burka

Gina, Janie and all the Cahill Clan, I am so sorry for your great loss! Henry was a great man and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He does leave a remarkable legacy in all of you and the kindnesses your family shares with the larger world! May God bless you all as you grieve his loss, and may you come to know he is always with you and once again with Lucy! So proud that I was lucky enough to know Henry.......and all of you! My love and hugs, Anne Marie

May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. Your special family is in our prayers.

To the Cahill Family, A wondrful man-a wonderful life. May he sleep in Heavenly Peace. Janice Pear Adams

Hank, will be dearly missed by the skippar family. I remember times of him and my father adolph together working in his wood shop together. The skippar family sends our sympathies.

Thoughts and prayers from me to the Cahill family..

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Hank. I feel that how successful a person was in life is not determined by how much money or property one accumulated but by the quality of friends he made and family he raised. I know of no one who was held in higher regards than Hank as he and his family were always spoken of with friendship, warmth and respect. His children have proven to be a chip off the block and are evidence that it would be hard to find a person who lived a more fruitful life than Hank. God Bless. Roy Minnehan

So sorry to hear of Hank's passing.Abington has lost another GREAT Citizen'and another FAVORITE Son. God Bless him and all his family Michael Valler Marietta GAagptc

I think he was the best grandfather in the world.I loved watching him carve.He was the best carving person I know.I loved bringing him food at his house.I will miss you so much.

To all the Cahills I was so sorry to hear about Hanks death. It's hard to put into words what a great loss it is to everyone . Words can't express how much he will be missed as he was loved by all. He will always be in my Prayers. My Deepest Sympathy to all the family Barbara Condon
