Susan and Lauren, I, too, had the honor of babysitting for you when you were kids. My mother was Mrs. Smith, who was the 8th grade math teacher on your dad's team at BUHS, from 1977-1995. Your dad was fun and talented man for sure. His sense of humor will be sorely missed and he was loved by so many. I'm sorry for your loss.

Fantastic teacher and a very funny guy. He made school fun. He will be missed.

I had him as a science teacher in 8th grade and he was amazing. We had a mutual love of pranks and practical jokes and the same off-kilter sense of humor. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him.

Mr. Henry, was simply a great teacher and good man. Always saying hello and giving a great smile. My condolences to his family. Fair Winds and Following Seas Sailor.

I remember walking into the classroom one day to find him with a rubber goldfish hanging from his mouth. He was endlessly funny, enthusiastic about the material, and just a wonderful, kind human being. Lauren and Susan, I am so very sorry for your loss. Both of your parents were wonderful people and I am...

I had the pleasure to have been one of Mr Henrys students! One afternoon, he asked all of us to get crowded around the table, and to observe carefully! He asked us girls for a long strand of hair, and I quickly plucked out a long piece. He asked us all to come closer, and observe what happened as the piece of hair goes into the water. We all got in as close as we could, as he slapped his hand into the puddle of water, and it splashed up into our face. He was a big practical joker for sure! He...
