Henry "Hank" Richard Radwanski

Henry Richard Radwanski, fondly known as “Hank”, died in Manchester, NH on February 19, 2025 at the age of 78, surrounded by his loving family. Hank was born in Munich, Germany on November 6, 1946, the son of Richard Radwanski and Genowefa (Kacala) Radwanski.

Hank moved with his parents to the United States in 1951 and settled in Manchester, NH. He attended St. Casimir School and graduated from Central High School. After graduation he served in the US Air Force for eight years, including a tour in Vietnam.

After his military service Hank worked for over 30 years at Preco/Airgas. He began as a truck driver and through his strong work ethic and dedication he ultimately earned the role of Vice President of Sales. Hank last worked at the State of NH Department of Transportation until his
retirement in 2010.

He enjoyed outdoor activities including motorcycle rides, hunting with his father and son and hours fishing and boating on local lakes. He loved vacations with his family on Lake Sunapee and later with his grandchildren at Cape Cod, especially flying kites with them on the beach.

He would speak polish to his grandchildren including the phrase “Ja kocham ciebie bardzo”, which means “I love you very much” and sing songs to them. His family loved him right back.

Hank is survived by his children; Tina Gagnon of Goffstown, Richard Radwanski and wife Karen of Manchester. He is also survived by his four grandchildren, Camden, Carley, Abby and Garrett and former wife Marcia Radwanski.

A private gathering to celebrate his life will be held at a later date.
