Not sure what to say?

Time goes by so quickly and while it´s been 5 years already, I still think about you and your talents and what an amazing gift you gave me in music. Miss ya and love ya brother!

Henry, you were the best guitar teacher a 13-year-old punk kid could ever have asked for. Our lessons were basically therapy sessions and I never forgot how lucky I was to spend that time with one of the greats. I was thinking of you and your generosity at Adirondack Strings this evening and re-found your obituary. Gone far too soon, old friend. I miss you.

Well my brother,you are dearly missed and Ill forever be heartbroken we did not get to get back onstage.Ill always be your drummer.We will rock out when i get up there.

Henry - I just learned this week. We've lost touch over the years. You helped me so much when I was younger: music, opportunity and life in general. Your character helped me think about who I wanted to become. I thank you for it. You are missed.

You’re missed very much, I think about you every day. You are the best friend anyone could have. Until we are reunited, Rock on and Stay Strong

Henry, It's been 5 months since you passed and I just found out. An overwhelming sadness shrouds me and consumes me. Although we hadn't talked for many years, you always held a special place in my heart. You were a great friend and mentor to me when I just entered the music scene at only 16. I'll always remember our long conversations sometimes for hours, going to see you at Adirondack Strings - joking around - seeing Metallica with you on the Puppets tour. Visiting you at your apartment and...

Mrs. McFerran,
I've just learned that Herny had passed. It's with a heavy heart I write this. I'm so very sorry for the loss of Herny. I only met him a few times but what I knew was he was a sweet, talented , well loved man. May he and Sean be in heaven preforming their music together. God bless you and give you strength at this difficult time.

It was only recently that we learned of Henry's passing. Henry is largely responsible for the joy both of our sons experience as musicians. Henry's enthusiasm, patience, encouragement and limitless kindness touched many of the young people that he has taught over the years. He was not only an excellent musician but also a wonderful teacher who had an innate ability to reach each student in their area of musical interest. Henry had a gift and we are grateful that he shared that with our...
