Henry Carl "Hank" Faulkner, Edgerton (2012)

Henry Carl "Hank" Faulkner, of Edgerton passed away Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012, at age 60, after a seven-year struggle following diagnosis of a brain tumor. Born in Madison, WI, and raised in Cambridge, WI, Hank married Angelea (Bronson) in 1972 and moved to Edgerton, WI, where they raised their four daughters and he lived his remaining years.
As a youngster living on a farm, Hank learned to entertain his family with his creative imagination through pranks, yet he knew how to act quickly in times of need. An avid hunter and excellent marksman, Hank found solace in the outdoors as a young child, a love that continued on his entire life. Whether it was hunting for the next big turkey or buck or simply exploring the woods, Hank enjoyed peace in these simple pleasures.
During his working years, Hank used his skillful hands while employed with companies such as General Motors, Columbia Par Car and Stoughton Trailers. For a few years, he also owned his own golf car repair business.
Hank was preceded in death by his father, Richard Faulkner; brother, Thomas Faulkner; sister, Jane Kluever; and grandchildren, Lucy and Isaiah Derks.
Surviving family include his loyal wife of 39 years, Angelea Bronson Faulkner; daughters: Theresa (Michael) Champeau of St. Michael, MN, Sheri (Jason) Derks of Neenah, WI, Stefanie (John) Heden of San Diego, CA, and Elizabeth (Robert Stolte) Faulkner of Edgerton; along with his grandchildren: Haley, Alexis, and Caitlin Champeau and Lincoln Derks. In addition, Hank is survived by his mother, Ruth Faulkner of Madison, WI; sisters: Margaret (Milton) Sprecher of Middleton, WI, Patricia (Bill) Imhoff of Monona, WI, and Virginia (James) Iverson of Winnsboro, TX; and brothers, Peter (Ruth) Faulkner of Cambridge, WI, and William (Donna) Faulkner of Sun Prairie, WI.
