Very sorry to hear the sad news of Henry's passing. I just found out yesterday. Henry was the the Mountain Man of GTE/Verizon. When I first started working with Henry and I would work in the mountains all the customers would ask if I knew Henry, as if it were a test. If I knew Henry then I must be ok. Or they would ask why they didn't send Henry. I would have to explain that we were busy and Henry couldn't make it. He will be missed. He was a good man to work with.

To the Westerfield family,my deepest sympathies. I had the pleasure of working with Henry for about 5 years and he always had a smile on his face. He was a special person in his own way and he will be missed. Barb Dequin

Henry was one of the most kind and generous people I have ever known. I knew him for many years at GTE and Verizon. He will be greatly missed by anyone who ever met him.

Henry was one of the best guys Ive ever met and worked with in my life. He made coming to work a fun experience, and I'm grateful for all the wisdom and knowledge and good times he shared with me. Not a month goes by that a customer doesn't ask about him. When we would leave work at the end of the day, one of his favorite sayings was, "By time I get to that gate, i'm gonna be feelin pretty damn good" , I hope thats how he's feelin right now. Thanks Henry, gonna miss you.

I knew Henry for many years at GTE and Verizon. His customers in the Los Gatos mountains all knew Henry as their friend and he took great care of them. I will miss him as a friend and coworker. He left his many friends and customers with fond memories, I will remember him in my prayers.
