Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. He was definitely a true Texas Gentleman in every way possible.

Another year has passed and yet my memory and appreciation of Henry remains ever strong. A true gentleman in every sense of the word. His life was a life well lived and I consider myself fortunate in knowing him as a friend and lawyer.

Perhaps the finest gentleman that I ever knew. I think of him often. I look for his advice and wise counsel in so many ways. He was everything a client and friend could have.

Almost a year has passed and I think of him often. A true gentleman in every sense of the word. I miss his counsel and the consideration that he showed me and those who were fortunate enough to come into contact with him. He was my friend and lawyer and I miss him very much.

Dear Henry,

God bless you and rest in peace. You are the finest gentleman that I've ever known. I will remember you always.

I was so sad to hear about Mr. Gilchrist's passing. He was such a wonderful man! I just loved him!!! I used to work at Jenkens and Gilchrist back from 1986-1999. I was a teenager when I started there as a receptionist. He treated me kindly and with respect, as if I was an "equal" adult. I appreciated that more that he would ever know. Those years were the best working years of my life. I have so many fond memories of Jenkens & Gilchrist. He made sure he knew all of our names and always...

Kind thoughts are with the family in your time of grief. May fond memories bring you comfort during these difficult days. Psalms 9: 9, 10

Sorry for the loss of a dear loved one. May you find comfort during this grieving moment. Psalm 105:4.

And yet another "young" lawyer who was guided by Henry one summer long ago at the firm. I have always been grateful for his kindness and great example and I always remember Henry as I try to pay it forward.
