Carolyn, I am sorry for your loss. Henry was like an older brother to me and Jeff. Dad thought of Henry as a son as well. Henry was a good honest man that will be missed deeply. I am sure he is culling crabs with Dad now in heaven. My Mother sends her love and well wishes to you at this sad time. Thinking of Henry, Johnny Jones
