Jerry Henry Obituary
Stanfordville, NY - Jerry Anthony Henry, 42, surrounded by his loving family entered peacefully into rest on the evening of Monday, December 31, 2012 at Albany Medical Center in Albany, NY.
He was born in Newburgh, NY on July 24, 1970 the son of Mary Henry of Wallkill, NY and the late Frederick Henry.
Devoted husband and father, Jerry was an avid reader with a great love of books and a broad knowledge of technology.

On August 12, 2000 at the Immaculate Conception Church in Amenia, NY, he married Kimberly (Bray) Henry. For over twelve wonderful years they shared their love for each other and their two children.

Dear Henry Family,
I cannot tell you how shocked and saddened we were to hear of Jerry's passing. Although I had not seen him in many years I felt like I knew him from the beautiful things written in his obituary. He was not only the same old Jerry but apparently a remarkable man. I am sorry I did not cross his path as an adult because I feel like I really missed out on knowing an extraordinary person. I have no words to express my sorrow for all of you. I am deeply sorry and saddened. Please know that you are all in our thoughts during this horrible time.

There are not enough words that I can say to ease the pain and loss that the family is feeling right now. You are in my prayers and thoughts. One of my last emails to Jerry was when I was in need of support for my sick brother; I expressed to him how the world needs more caring and thoughtful people like him. He will be missed dearly.
