Mona,
It was with sadness that I learned of Henry's death today. I met him when I went to work at the City in the early 80's. His deep voice was intimidating to me but I came to know him as a funny, kind, heart of gold person. He was one of my favorite people. His love of his family was evident in every story that he told. Each time that I hear a wind chime, I think of him. He loved those! The wind chime that you two gave us as a wedding gift brought much joy. My life was enriched by his friendship! May you find peace and comfort in your wonderful memories. God bless!
