I'm am very Greatful Thank You Heavenly Father I will always hold you in my heart! Respectfully Yours Ieasha R. Warfield

I know Tom will be missed by most who knew him. We became friends back in the early 80s when I got to know of his character and positive outlook. Though we were of different political stripes, I would have voted for him knowing his ability to address issues as they were, not how most people viewed them through a political lens. I respected him and I will miss him. Vaya con Dios!

To The Henry Family: Just want to express my deepest sympathy to you in the passing of Mayor Tom Henry. It is clear Mayor Tom Henry loved his community. His vision and efforts in business and economic development and quality of life efforts will live on in Fort Wayne. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Sincerely, Michelle C.

I knew Cindy as a great coworker at LS Ayres, Glenbrook, for a year or so and recall her infectious smile and great humor! She was always so fun to work with but we got the job done! We shared family stories as I had just become a new mom for the 2nd time. She talked of her Tom then but I had no idea what an absolute treasure he was then and for the next 50 years or so. Growing up in FW as Catholics, and raising my family in FW , there´s hardly a way to not know who some of the Henry...

Lived down the street from the Henry's when they lived across the street from Precious Blood School. It was a very hot summer night, and I stepped out on our front porch. There sound asleep was a little boy. I got my Dad and he said that must be one of the Henry's with all that red hair. My Dad picked him up and still sound asleep, Dad carried him to the Henry household. We knocked on the door and Mr. Henry answered .Dad told Mr. Henry we found this child on our front porch. Mr. Henry...

I met Tom Henry many years ago when he was with Midwest Healthnet. He gave me some good career advice. As busy as he was, he took time to meet with me and even gave me a referral to another individual that might also help give me advice. You have left an indelible mark in this world. You will be greatly missed. Hope to bump into you and Cindy in Heaven some day. Condolences to his family.

I worked with Mayor Tom's father many years ago. To the Henry family my sincere thoughts and prayers at this time. A fellow Army Veteran and a great family man. He will be missed.

Remembering Tom as the mayor that rebuilt downtown, and worked to get people involved in their neighborhoods again. He will be missed as a nice man, and a good leader, that really cared for our city. My sympathy to his family.
