Henry Briggs McFarlin III

Love and miss you, Henry. Here´s a picture of you rocking out with Nancy Luca @ the L&M.

Love and miss you to this day, Henry Briggs McFarlin III. My brother forever.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Henry's passing. I believe I was one of his first clients here in Sarasota when he renovated my home back in 1992. He did a wonderful job and was a pleasure to be with. Although we met by chance, we had a lot in common including having both moved here from Gainesville, our love for the Gators, and the joy of music. He was a fine gentlemen and will certainly be missed by many. My condolences to his family and friends.

I did not know Henry very well, but we both lived on Bird Key, I have seen him joyfully play his bass guitar, I attended his 50th birthday party, and I am also a Gator.
I was very sad to hear this news.
I am glad we had a good conversation within the last year.
My condolences to his family and friends.

Henry was a very great and generous friend. Though our friendship was relitivley young, it was greatly valued. The way I will choose to remember Henry is a pefect example of who he was. Henry was sharing one of his greatest accomplishments with several friends previewing his brother and himself on stage singing a Happy Birthday Song to his Mother. He will be missed for moments as that and many more.

Henry was my best friend and beloved husband for fourteen years. His love was great, unconditional and so very sincere. I was blessed to have so many wonderful years with such a loving man. I will miss him and love him forever.

Henry Briggs McFarlin III, what an incredible man; so generous, such a caretaker, talented bass guitar musician, Gator, handsome Southern gentleman, so intelligent and tolerant of everyone, (unless you were a sub-contractor), a man who paid attention to details. The homes he built are legacies and masterpieces. The friendships he nurtured will never be diminished. We made a pact that we would be brother and sister forever and that is what I find comforting now. "Love is eternal and never fades."

Henry was a dear friend of ours and a close confidant over the last year and a half. He was an incredibly caring man, he lived his life with integrity and honor. He was a music man through and through often quoting lyrics from songs. There are versus and tunes that will forever remind us of him. He left us all far too soon. We are both grateful for the endearing conversations and the time we had together last weekend. We caught the end of the Gator game, talked, and reminisced about the 50th...

Henry McFarlin was a truly fine, good hearted, caring man. I came to know him while we both we going thru trying times in our lives, thru hundreds of hours of conversations. We shared tons of tears along with a occasional, wonderful laugh. We held each other up! I will never forget him. I'm blessed to have known him.
