My sincere condolences to Mr. Henry's family.
My name is David, and I work at the Bi-County Convenience Center in the Sango area.
I first met Mr. Henry 3 or 4 years ago while working. We soon developed a friendship. He would come in his Mercedes or the Corvette, so we enjoyed talking about his cars and his son owning a body/detail shop. He always had a smile, handshake, every time we met.
Again, my condolences for your loss.
David Shepherd,
