Henry King Zipf

Henry Zipf, A First Class Gentleman! Loosing you a short time ago was a great loss to the Tucson Community. His intellectual prominance and quiet approach to life was one of his greatest assets. Quietly, he made his presence know by the great saying, Actions speak Louder than Words. Rest in Peace my Friend and Fellow Knight.

I´ve known Henry for 20+ years. We met when he was a builder, working on a couple of duplexes. Henry and I had a no bs relationship and I appreciated that. He also gave me his basketball seats many times and I really enjoyed the wildcat talk with him. In the last few years, Henry took up guitar so we would chat about what he was playing and the beautiful Martin guitar he purchased. I looked forward to seeing Henry at the games.

Although I never met Henry, he has meant so much to my cousin Debbie. He must have been a wonderful man to have her respect him so much. He was a part of her life that will be missed terribly. Our condolences to his sons, who honored their father by returning home to care for him. He was blessed with caring people who loved him in his time of need. Marie and John Paul SanGiovanni

But his mischievous sense of humor, his contagious...

I had the honor and pleasure of working along side Henry at the Oro Valley Historical Society. Henry's optimism, kindness and humor would light up the room. His kind and generous spirit will guide us as we continue to keep the history that he loved so much thriving!

Henry has always showed respect to all he dealth with, a First Class man. A great leader in all ventures he was involved in. He will be missed by all that have had the pleasure of knowing and working with him.

As President of the Oro Valley Historical Society, Henry provided great leadership and was a passionate supporter of the mission to keep Oro Valley history alive. We will miss his sense of humor along with the seriousness with which he approached this dedication.

Henry was such a joy to work with for the Oro Valley Historical Society! He could do anything we needed him to do. I will miss him! Roxy Reidy Johnson
