Oliver Carl Henkel

I know Pudge's name from his work at Cleveland Clinic. I wasn't aware of the other great work he did throughout Cleveland, particularly with regard to Playhouse Square. It is impossible to imagine what a different city Cleveland would be without our, now highly regarded, theater district. When attending shows I frequently remi nisce about how they were saved. I will now always remember him when telling those stories. Warm hugs of comfort to those who will miss his presence most. May the...

He was Mr. Henkel to me. As the father of a classmate/teammate, he had no reason to go out of his way to get to know me and counsel me. However, that was his nature: to befriend and help others. I am very grateful that he was part of my life.

Sally, what a remarkable love story you and Pudge had. I never met him, but over the years heard many comments about his meaningful involvement in the community. I am certain Ben welcomed Pudge into heaven with open arms. I am so sorry for your loss, and my prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I worked with Mr. Henkel for many years at Thompson Hine. I admired him for the way he worked with everyone from secretaries to associates to firm staff, always smiling, positive and a pleasure to work alongside. My most heartfelt condolence goes out to his family and friends whom, I'm certain, will feel his leaving the most. God speed, Mr. Henkel. May God have a nice green for a round of golf and a spot in the garden for your tomatoes. You will be dearly missed.

Sally, Steve and I just heard about Pudge. He was a great friend, legal counsel, support Pam keefe

AS THE OLD BASEBALL SAYING GOES,PUDGE WAS A 5 TOOL PLAYER.HE COULD IT ALL.HIS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT WAS RAISING A WONDERFUL FAMILY AND STILL GETTING INVOLVED IN COUNTLESS CAUSES.ALONG WITH SALLY,A JOB WELL DONE.

I never knew Pudge but I am so impressed with the life of integrity and service that he led on this earth. He seemed to find so many areas in which to be involved which advanced the City of Cleveland and its citizens. When he appears before the Throne of Grace, he will be warmly welcomed home as "a good and faithful servant"

RIP Pudge. I did not know you personally, but as a life long Cleveland native I am so thankful for your efforts on behalf of Playhouse Square, education, and vocational training. My sincere condolences to the family.

Thank you for your service to our country !
