Not sure what to say?

Still missing Henry..always loved our visits with him. I'm sure James is up there with him giving him grief. He will always be in my heart. My youngest son had his 5th child last October and his name is Joseph Henry. Obviously he meant a lot to my son also.

Henry left an indelible mark on our hearts.He was one of our favorites.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you ana your family at this sad time.

To the family:Henry Gilfond was my english teacher when I was in 9th grade (1962). I remember him being a wonderful contrast to all the other teachers. We learned much about life as well as about english. I still have a copy of his book! He was part of my life for a very short time but I remember him well. My synpathies to his family. Nancy Z. Schwartz

To Pamela and family, all of our thoughts are with you in your time of need. We will think of you always.

A great mentor and inspiration in our lives. An Uncle who never failed to make us say "Uncle" when he had to. Henry loved life and people, and we all loved him for it.

Dear Pam, Mike & Family...
We feel your grief, your loss. Henry was very special to us! He was a very lovable, interesting, and as James called him, of course endearingly, the "Old Curmudgeon". We will long remember our visits to L.I. May He and Edith rest in peace for eternity. With much Love and Affection....James & Del
