Not sure what to say?

Karen and Kerrie, my heart knows your pain and I am so sorry for your loss. Today is January 3, 2024 and I only learned last week that Henry has joined Ed in heaven. We lost Ed in October of 2009 from colon cancer. God bless you both! We both lost two of the greatest! Jan Gallagher

Sending our deepest sympathy Karen to you and the family. It was always nice to see Henry when guys came to Richfield Trailer Supply, Always a smile and ready to joke around. My prayers for peace and comfort are with yo Karen.

We had just moved to Kentwood and had one car. I was recently hired at John Knox Church as secretary and it was fall so I rode my bike to work. The temperature was starting to drop and he said to me, "When are you going to get snow tires for that bike?" He offered to pick me up if needed but I bought a car that week. He was always available if I needed a ride. So considerate of to a newcomer!

I was Henry´s next door condo neighbor for the last 2years. I just loved him and Karen and always loved talking to Henry as he was washing his truck or catching him on his bike flagging him down to just say hi. He would always shovel my porch area in the winter to be so kind. In return I would buy him a box of popcorn or some kind of sweet treat to say my thank you. He always kept a eye on my place and we shared jokes all the time and had plenty of laughs every time we saw each other . I will...

Karen, I am so sorry to hear of Henry's passing. It was always a good day at work when I encountered him or you. And it was great to see you both in some store when we crossed paths. It is so sad to hear he is gone but you have an angel in heaven now looking out for you! God bless him and you!

Karen, Please accept our deepest condolences. We met Mr. At shell gas station and seen him at block parties, when our finest firefighters showed up. May God, surround you with love and support.

We are so very sorry for your loss - Karen, Kerrie and family. We know this must have been a very difficult situation. We never know what the Lord has in store for us. I remember Henry as a loving man of God, his red truck, great smile, generous spirit. His time at John Knox and Steelcase. That you came and brought us a baby gift when Michelle was born, even though we barely knew you! So thoughtful!! Our hearts greive for you all. You will remain in our prayers as you walk this...

Karen, we are so sorry for your loss. Henry was one of the most joyful and kind hearted People I knew. I have known him for around 50 years, starting at John Knox playing Volleyball with him. He had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. I echo my brother Tom ( Morgan) in saying Henry had a big impact on the Morgan family through John Knox Church. We are Praying for you and Karrie. Fred and Julie Spica

Thank you Henry for such selfless service to not only Foamit but to all those you have impacted. Thank you for the laughs and check ins during my short time knowing you. You will be missed.
