Henry Biernacki

Henry "Hank" Biernacki lived a life defined by adventure, curiosity, and generosity. Even though he battled severe dyslexia, he excelled both academically and athletically. He earned a BA in romance languages and international affairs, becoming fluent in six languages. As a commercial airline captain, he was type-rated in seven aircraft, including the Airbus 319/320 and Boeing 747. He died in April 2025 while traveling -- doing what he loved most.
