Our family remembers Henry with a great deal of love. For almost 60 years he has been a big part of our family and we have many good memories of our times together. He always paid special attention to our boys growing up and was in many ways a "big kid" himself. We are saddened by the events of the past few years, but trust he is in God's hands now.
