I remember Mr. Henry from his employment with Riverside Regional Convalescent Center. He was the best. No matter what the weather was like, we could always depend on him being there for his shift. Although his time there was brief, he left a lasting impression on all of us. He would stop by from time to time for a visit. He definitely kept things in order. GOD bless you all.

Mrs. Neva Starks I want to express my deepest words of sorrow to you, I knew Henry from being a member of Chapter 58 of the DAV unit here in Gloucester, and helped him with some of his paperwork that he did with the VA, he will be deeply missed. Because of personal reasons, I have not been going to the meetings for the past year or so, so I did not realize that Henry was sick, so this came as a big surprise when I saw his name in the paper, again I can only say that he will be deeply missed by those of us that knew him, and that he has gone on to a better place and that he is no longer in pain, but that is of little comfort to you, but you know that you will see him again some time, so please remember that God does have a reason for all of this, and we are not supposed to know why or when.
