Hank Gerald, played by Raoul Bhaneja, was introduced in the Season 4 episode 'A New Life', where he marries Donna Sabine. As Ed walks her down the aisle at the outdoor ceremony, Donna reveals to him that she was the one to ask Hank to marry her. Not much else is known about Hank's origins. 'A New Life' establishes that he works in the I.T. industry with his best friend/Best Man, Pete, and that he's a "techie". Hank and Pete "grew up in the same neighbourhood; went to the same school". Though it is never addressed in the series, Hank is now a widower due to the events of "Keep the Peace, Pt. 1".
