Who knows what neglected cemetery souls cry out for recognition for? Whatever urgings took place, Hans Henke heard them at Patchogue’s Lakeview Cemetery. Back in 1991, while still working as a mechanic at his business, Henke Repair Service in Blue Point, Henke found that many of the markers or gravesites—including those of prominent families and the oldest founding merchants—were not identifiable. They were obscured by weeds and thick vines, making walking through the cemetery a challenge.
