Not sure what to say?

My husband, Doug and I met Henry and Jane in Poway when they joined Lutheran Church of the Incarnation, Poway. Our prayers and sympathies go out to Jane and the family. May the Peace of
God's Love be with you at this time.

Our prayers are with the family.Henry was a high School classmate and a genuine nice person.

Thinking of Jane today and wishing her peace. I miss him.

Henry was the fun uncle who was only 12 years older than me. When I was a kindergartner he did magic tricks for us, which I thought were REAL. A few years later he went to Alaska and brought home fossils, and played the guitar for us when we came to visit. Then he married Jane and they moved to Florida near Disney World. Uncle Henry was so cool! and so special.

Henry and I shared a birthday, so he was a special cousin. I am so grateful that I was able to spend some time with him in Florida and in California. Those memories are special. Mom & Dad and my brother, Jay Wetterhus, all send their love and prayers for Jane, David, Kerensa and Travis.

My Thoughts and Prayers go out to Henry and his family. His willingness to share his knowledge has been instrumental in my career from the first time I met him at The estate of Joan Kroc in Fairbanks Ranch and the many years that followed when I could pick up the phone and ask a question which he freely answered. You will be greatly missed by those of us who called you a friend and teacher.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Growing up on Hanover next to Donselman's was a fun and exiting time. Great memories that won't be forgotten.

Barbara,it is with deep sadness that we write in this book tonight. We both want to extend our Sympathy to you and to your Family. We would also like to say that we were honored to know Henry. He was such a nice man and brought joy to so many people. We know he will be greatly missed. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deep regrets to the entire family. I grew up in Aurora living next door to Henry and family in my pre-teen and teen years, from the time I was 3 years old. Boy, what great times we had, what childhood memories I have. We formed our own radio station (LUNY), made camps in the woods, fished in the neighborhood creeks, 'corned' the neighbors at Halloween, played in the streets until way past dark in the summertime and on some days, just 'hung out'. Henry and I were not as close in high...
