Cobleskill- Henry "Hank" Bellinger Mattice, 94, of Cobleskill died on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at his residence where he loved living, in part because while there he led a song group.

Hank graduated from Cobleskill Central School in 1935 and, after a year of postgraduate training, entered Springfield College. He graduated with a BS in Physical Education in 1940, having represented the school on several intercollegiate athletic teams and served as Editor in Chief of the school newspaper.

His professional career spanned teaching positions in physical education at South Kortright Central School, Andes Central School, and Sewanaka High School in Floral Park, LI, all in New York State. His basketball team at Sewanaka High School played for the NYS championship. Following a stint with the US Army during World War II, and a partnership in Shafer and Mattice Plumbing and Heating in Cobleskill, he established Mattice Plumbing and Heating , "Bank on Hank" , in Cobleskill. Then in 1975 he moved with his companion, Irma Bouton to Ventura, CA, where he worked for the Bank of A. Levy from which he retired in 1982.
