I am so sorry henry is not with us anymore. We meet henry five years ago. We needed help with our camp and he was happy to help without asking for anything. Over a short time we became good friends. I could allways count on him to be a friend. Henry never raised his voice or talked bad about anyone. Henry spoke highly of his children and grandchildren and neighbors. God bless you Henry.
