Hank loved computers and that was only topped for his love of the game of Chess. He has been a Chess master for many years, playing opponents all over the country. His Chess expertise was acknowledge numerous times with awards and recognition from the US Chess Federation.
Along with his Chess he was a sports enthusiast and remained a loyal fan of the Washington Redskins. Additionally, he had a passion for the Lake of the Ozarks and boating as well as jet skiing. Hank was truly in heaven on an evening out boating on the lake.
Finally, but above all the rest was his intense love for his dogs, particularly his Miniature Schnauzer the ''Snotter''. Snotter was his constant companion. And because of his love for his dogs, when our Schnauzer, ''Tappi'' had cancer, he took her every other Friday for treatment at Kansas State University. As a result we had her a year and a half longer. Following that, Hank opened the Tappi Hidalgo Trust Fund for the Veterinary Center at Kansas State University.
Hank was a kind, and brilliant man with a heart of gold. We will miss his infectious laugh forever.
Hank is survived by his parents, Henry and Lotte Hidalgo of Arlington, Virginia. His brothers, John Hidalgo, Jimmie Hidalgo and his wife Ruby, and Dr. David Hidalgo and his wife Marianne. Also, stepsons, Justin Maples and James Maples and his grandsons, Jeffrey and Justin Cade, and his former wife and friend forever, Karen Hidalgo-Nichols.
