So sorry to hear of Henry's passing. I met him in New York about 1980 at Finis Jhung dance studio, taking ballet class.
We became friends, spent many days & nights talking about life, art, culture. I can never forget his smile. He was one of the truly nicest persons I have ever met. I am so sorry for your loss. I had not seen him in years, but will miss him very much.

not if but when
not if but when
when the world will end
waiting for the apocolypse
waiting for disaster
waiting the turn waiting for the end
last week drowned in the Mediterranean Sea
basking frolicking in the sun
swimming in the warm calm water
in the sea off the coast of turkey
not if but when then on the 13th of may
that was the day the end of Henry clay smith 3rd

So sad to hear of Henry's passing... I met him for the first time in 2000 while living at NY Aikikai. He let me help out on one of his shows with the Lakotah Sioux Dance Theatre, which was a wonderful experience. I hope you are at peace Henry, wherever you may be!

From Margret Roper Forum thru St. John Vianney we passed by you too lightly; you passed over too soon. RIP Henry

Your brother was absolutely unique in my experience, and connected in a positive way with many, many people. How many of us can say that?

Our hearts were broken to learn about the loss of Henry. We hope you can find comfort in knowing that your loved one will be present in your lives forever. Keep the faith and love will lead you through this horrible pain. He sleeps quietly now as his head rests softly on your heart which will be his pillow forever.

I am so sad to lose my dear friend and mentor Henry Smith. He was a great man. Always loving and full of laughter and sage advice. I have spent time on the mat with him and in the sweat lodge and it always filled me with joy. Henry was a houseguest at my home in LA and kept everyone amused. He is sailing free now!! My love and condolences go to his family and two sons. He always kept me up on what his boys were doing and was filled with pride and love.
