WHY HANK’S ICE CREAM IS CLOSED THIS WEEK 
There’ll be no butter pecan, vanilla, or creamed corn flavors available for the next few days at the southern end of the angled strip center at the corner of Murworth and South Main St. — for a period of mourning.

I will miss Mr. Hank. Every time I would visit and without fail, he would ask about my son. He was so nice and I will miss the extra pecans he would put on the icecream. May God bless his wife and family.
Fantastic ice cream and fantastic people. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
A black business owner who worked hard and gave us all joy. RIP, my brother.
RIP sir. I frequented the barbershop in the that strip center for years. Invariably I would grab some of Hanks Ice Cream after eating at Baytown Seafood or Mama’s Oven. Good man, good ice cream.
