Henry was a remarkable man, greatly talented and dedicated to serving his fellowman. May we heed his example of generosity, sociability, of concern in bringing his country ahead; his care for the well-being of others. God bless him and rest his soul.

My Grandfather was an amazing man who did amazing things. I only spoke to him a few times before he passed on and everytime we talked he tell me "Keep going and keep your nose to grind stone!". He was happy telling me this and I'm proud to be a grandchild of his.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Woo at the Royal Canadian Legion and he was a wonderful, friendly, and considerate person. Later on he rode my bus on a daily bases in which we would joke and laugh. Henry had such a wonderful personality and loved to laugh. I will so miss him and pass on my condolences to his family. God bless my dear friend Henry, he touched me and many other people.

Sheri and Richard, it is with heavy heart that I hear of the passing of your Father. Henry was one of those rare souls that truly had a noble heart. The world is indeed a sadder place with him not in it. Our most sincere condolences. Much love Perry Okerstrom & Family

Henry was the best of fun, the best of people to work with and a guy with a heart as big as Canada. He served his fellow Albertans well and did an amazing job of representing us to China when he visited there with Peter Lougheed. Boomer Adair will welcome him to heaven and we will keep our fond memories of Henry close to us and share our condolences with Sheri and Richard

We had the pleasure of being neighbours of Henrys for the past 6 years. I will fondly remember our garage chats and trying to race him to shovel the snow. One of the many memories we have is the time when our dog Pax escaped from our yard, AGAIN and jumped from Henry's shed into his arms. Another fond memory is the many times Henry would ask our girls to wait outside as he would go into his house and come out bringing stuffies for the girls. They will cherish those stuffies from Henry.
Henrys warm heart, friendly smile and wave will be missed.
May he rest in peace.
