Sad News - Hank Bennis has passed away.

Hank died on November 18 and the funeral was on the 28th. I only just found out.

He had spent about 6 weeks in RNS Hospital, when it was found that his prostate cancer had spread to his bones and he went downhill fairly quickly after that. He was 83.

June said she would put down a few things about Hank's life and then let me know. If this happens, then I will go and pick this up and possibly "interview" her for details about Hank's life, which will then go on our blog.

  1. Vale Henk Bennis.

    My condolences to June and family.

    It's appropriate to sign this CosRay condolence book electronically as I knew Henk from the mid-60s to the mid-70s through our common interest in electronics. In particular, Henk designed all the regulated power supplies we used for various bits of electronic kit. Our electonics discussions also concerned my interest in hifi gear, and Henk had a mate who gave me a nice big discount on an Akai 7-inch reel-to-reel tape deck, which in analogue days was my music recording machine, and it remains one of my treasured possessions even in this digital age.
