Henry always treated me like family. I was honored to have known him. He was kind and generous. I will never forget how excited I was when he asked me if I wanted to go to the lake with him to see Sandy. Thank you, Henry.

First thoughts of Henry were the trips to the Paupack in the summer as a kid. He loved that lake.
