Henry and I hung 2000 rolls of wallpaper together 42 years ago on park avenue NYC, a few years later, he worked on my film crew when I was director of a feature film - he was in Atlanta for 6 steamy weeks in July and August- always a hard worker-
My thinking was, anyone who can help me hang 2000 rolls of wallpaper without complaining
can help on a film. Never a bad word. He was adopted- visited his apartment in upper manhattan- he would scrounge
trash in NYC for small fragments
of colored glass and create art.
Hats off. RIP - from Robert

VERY SADDENED TO HEAR. THOUGH MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE WE WORKED TOGETHER, HENRY'S STRENGTH, HUMOR AND HARD WORK ALWAYS CAME THROUGH. HIS BEAUTIFUL SMILE IS WITH ME. WARMEST SYMPATHY TO JESS.

I am so very sorry to hear about Henry's death. My heart goes out to Jessica and Otto. Henry lived life to the fullest, having the courage to feel what he felt and to say what he thought and believed. The world is a smaller place without Henry gracing it with his honest, humorous, creative, and loving presence.

Henry caught my attention nearly over 25 years ago when I was working on a house next to where he and Jessica lived. I wouldn't meet him until 10 years later when he walked in to join mutual friends at dinner. What I came to learn was why he stuck in my mind all those years--he made people feel at ease and was genuinely curious about other people's lives. He will be deeply missed in so many circles that he was part of.

Henry Wolyniec was always a welcomed visitor to my home. He was generous and open and laughed readily, making me feel as if I mattered. It was always as if we had a secret handshake or something exclusionary...which we didn't...although I would have loved to have had one with Henry.
