The Passing of Henry Cepluch

MISC_Henry CepluchFrom Brown Dawson Flick Funeral Home

Henry “Hank” Cepluch,  educator, actor, director, citizen took his final bow on Monday, November 1, 2021 at Hospice of Hamilton. He was born in Hamilton on March 8, 1943, the first child of Henry and Mary Rose (Burer) Cepluch. He was preceded in death by his sister Mary Lou and his parents. He leaves his friend and companion of 57 years Pat Ganz, four brothers; Bob (Patti), Don (Betty), Dick (Joyce) and Steve Cepluch, plus many nieces, nephews and friends and his two dogs Jackie and Lola.

Henry loved the arts, especially theatre and music. He was an avid reader and shared this love with many throughout the Hamilton community. Teaching was his passion whether it was in the classroom, in a theatre or in small gatherings. In addition to his many awards and honors, his kindness, and his sense of humor, he will be remembered for his laugh that not only filled a room but also the heart. Henry made a difference in this world.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 from 1:00 PM until the time of his Memorial Service at 3:00 PM at Brown Dawson Flick Funeral Home, 1350 Millville Ave., Hamilton, Ohio 45013.
