Hank, as he was known to all, was born November 25, 1937 to Andrew H.
and Marie (Rush) Gebbia. He had a long and distinguished career in the
United States Air Force, and retired with the rank of Chief Master
Sergeant in 1984. Hank will always be remembered as a master mechanic,
and was a passionate owner and restorer of countless motorcycles and
cars. He was incredibly self-reliant, and no job was too big for him to
tackle, even if he knew nothing about it at the onset. Most notably,
Hank managed to live for 85 years without ever really growing up, and
worked hard his entire life to instill this valuable approach to living
to his three sons, Andrew, Tony and Richard. He spent a lifetime making
everyone around him uncomfortable with his playfulness and silliness,
right up until his last days.
He is survived by his wife, Ingrid; sons, Andrew, Tony, and Richard;
daughters-in-law, Darla, Deborah, and Samantha; and grandchildren,
Carson, Evan, Harley, and Rachel.
