Not sure what to say?

Jim,
We all knew you as a gentleman and a kind and considerate person at work. May you Rest In Peace, and may God bless your wonderful and devoted wife.

I am so sorry to hear about the death of your father. I did not know him that well but was good friends of your mother, Elaine. We worked together in the golden days of the diocese under Bishop Dorsey. She was a wonderful person and they both did marvelous work with young couples in our diocese.

Korean War Veterans Association Department of Florida and Chapter 173 Casselberry send our sincerest condolences on the passing of Navy diesel Submarine Officer James Burton Henris, our Brother In Arms.
He served his country well and honorably.
Rest In Peace

I had the privilege to work with Jim on renovation projects at San Pedro retreat center. He was very respectful, appreciative and dedicated to his work. I knew Elaine through her work with the Diocese of Orlando’s Family Life department. They were a great testimony to the sacrament of marriage with a strong faith filled partnership. The world is a better place because of who they are and how they inspired others. Much love and comfort to Elaine and her family. - Amy Gordon

Though we had no personal contact outside of work, I am certain that anyone who ever met him morns his passing, as I do. Rest in peace my work friend and to your...
