Jennifer and family,
I just learned of Henry passing and will pray God gives you comfort and strength during this time and beyond. I loved working with Henry at my first job at Geraci's Bi-Rite. Henry was always fun to be around and his joy of The Lord was so obvious and uplifting to all. I was glad to reconnect with Henry and you a few years ago at a birthday celebration for a mutual friiend. I look forward to seeing him in eternity. May God bless you all.

Jennifer, We are so sorry for your loss. Every time I think of Henry, he was laughing or telling a joke. You both were so kind to us as Walt and I were starting our married life. I still remember the gold teddy bear pin that Henry gave you when you were expecting, and how he said he was going to name your boy "Rusty"! He was a sparkler and is lighting up the heavens now! Love, Mary Lynn & Walter Copan

Henry was my friend the Meat Man..He and Jennifer were our neighbors and some of the first people to welcome us to the neighborhood. I was so pleased to know they were dedicated and committed Christians, and they lived their Christianity every day...loving and caring, always looking out for us and the needs of our church. I will miss my friend, but what a legacy he has left to his family and friends. A life lived for Christ is a life well lived.

Dearest Jennifer, may our dear Lord comfort and bless you. You and Henry were dear to us for more than half a century, ever since our church youth group. I have thought gratefully about you both over the years for your love and friendship. The last years Henry called me by phone occasionally because he had become aware of my own loss and was a comfort to me. In the midst of your loss may you also find moments of rejoicing that Henry has gone to a far better place, free from sickness and...

I was a dietetic intern at the Cleveland VA in 2014-2015 and saw many patients, but Henry has stayed in my mind since. I had the opportunity to have him as one of my patients in two different rotations. During my last rotation, we were talking and I was telling him how nervous I was to go out in the real world and apply for jobs, he then asked if he could hold my hand and say a prayer for me and my future, and so he did. Even though I only had a few encounters with him, he was extremely kind...
