Martha, I'm so very sorry to hear about Henry's passing. He was like a father figure to me for many years and so very good to my Mother (Margaret Duncan). He was a fine man.

My heartfelt condolences go to Martha and the family in Henry's passing. I remember going in Kwik Pick in the early 50's and continued to do so until it closed. It was a Hapeville icon. The City of Hapeville missed him and the store in the years past. God Bless you!

My sincerest sympathies to Henry's family. I remember Henry from my childhood when we played baseball behind North Ave. School. He was a wonderful man and will be missed.
