Not sure what to say?

A friend of the family from the day I was born though our families drifted apart when we moved to to California. I have such wonderful and fond memories of growing up with Sally, Patrick, Lynn and Christopher. Sleep overs at each others house, Sunday School at St Andrews, we were inseparable. My parents I am sure are delighted to see him at Heaven's Gate. My condolences to the family.

Uncle Hank will be very missed by both my self and my husband Mike. Hank had been a part of my life since I was 10. I spent a great summer with Nancy and Hank when I was 15. Mike and I had a wonderful trip to Grand Rapids with our 5 children in 1975. Hank said we want all of you to come. We still talk abut that great trip to be with family. Mike and I had a wonderful time visiting Hank and Nancy in FL 5 years ago.
We love you Uncle Hank

To my dear Uncle Hank, I am left with nothing but wonderful memories of you. The fun summer in 1965 at Lake Ann and Grand Rapids. The way you loved and treated my mother (still wish I had the video tape of the trip thru Europe in the Valiant with you, Nancy, mom. Chuck and Marty) I will truely miss you. Curt

To have nurtured such a sweet soul as Chris, into the awesome guy that he is, Henry must have been a really greta man! A legacy in itself!

The people of St. Andrew's Grand Rapids will remember you all in our prayers this week. I remember Mr. Rosendall with great fondness. He was certainly a man of dignity.

People have asked for Nancy's address. Might you please contact us with it.

To my loving father and mentor. So much of my success in life I owe to my parents. The loving atmosphere they created in our home has been the foundation for my life. My dad was my cheerleader, my example and my legacy. I'm so lucky to have had him for such a long time. In his own way, he shared so much with me - knowledge, integrity, common sense and support - this lives in me and lives on in my children...what a way to achieve immortality. He led an honorable life, I know in his later years...

"Henry's son Christopher and I shared many great childhood memories together through visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Grand Rapids. We were neighbors and Chris and I have shared a bond that will last a lifetime. Henry was always kind and cheerful and Chris always talked very highly of his Father being a great inspiration and support to him. Many prayers and hugs to Chris and his family."

I met Chris's Dad a few times long ago. Chris has had nothing but wonderful things to say about his Dad. And from what I know of Chris, he must've been an awesome person, because Chris is too. Prayers and hugs to you all.

Here's to my fantastic father! My whole life I've been blessed with very supportive parents. My dad was always designing and constructing different projects around the house. He was a real inspiration on my current profession as a landscape designer. Not only did he help design and build the house I grew up in, but I watched him build our pool, decks, screened porch, furniture, flower and vegetable gardens, etc.
I didn't see him very much in the last years of his life, but we had great...
