Henry was one of those very rare people who easily and quickly connected with so many others...and at so many levels...and in such a warm and personal manner. He helped bring out the best in all who knew and worked with him.

I just heard of Henry's passing and am truly sad to learn he is no longer with us. Henry always greeted us girls at the Lab with a smile and those one-armed hugs that would drawf us! He always had a kind word to say. The Whitehead family should be very proud to have had him as a husband, father, brother, etc. I was proud to have him as a friend. Please accept my sincere condolences.
