Dear Criden Family, As a member of the Tip Club of Buffalo, I had the pleasure of regular Friday morning breakfasts with Hank as President of the club. He was a dear man who made many friends. We were very sorry to hear of his passing. God Bless you all.

To the Criden Family--
During the past two weeks, I had the opportunity to become acquainted with Henry at Oakwood where my father is undergoing physical therapy. What a warm, kind gentleman Henry was! He was always so friendly to my father, and I looked forward to chatting with him every time I visited there. Henry spoke lovingly of his late wife and of his sons and their families, and he was clearly so proud of all of you. My parents and I feel very privileged to have met him. May Henry now rest in peace. . . .
