Read MoreJohn 14:27 is a comforting message. A long life is a blessing, where everyone benefits. I knew Henry Riser mostly in the late 60's. I never forgot him & the family, and still keep touch with a few. There will be rejoicing as another soul is lifted up. Love & peace, always.

I spent my first 8 years in the property and casualty insurance claims business working for Henry. He hired me as a trainee with Continental Insurance. I learned so much about this business from Henry and truly benefited from his many years of experience. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with and learn from him. I will always fondly remember the fun times Henry and his Shreveport UAC family had through the years.

He made me believe I could do anything if I applied the appropriate effort. Opportunity was given to me and others over time that created an office that generated "many many" (his phrase)...
