Before retirement in 1982, he rose through the ranks to become chief purchasing agent. In addition to his wife Winifred, Henry was predeceased by brothers Stanley and Walter as well as his cherished son-in-law Leonard Brams. He will be dearly missed by his two daughters who were the pride and joy of his life: Nancy Ann Recine and her husband Natalino of Monroe, and Susan Jean Brams of Farmington Hills MI. He is also survived by grandchildren Peter Recine of Monroe, Paul Recine and wife Christine of Seymour, Gina Andersen and husband Brendan of MA, and Jennifer Brams and fiancée Basan Dok of Farmington MI. Other survivors include five great-grandchildren: Amber, Nicholas, Conor, Bella and Andrew and long time companion Laura Gaver of Port Richey FL.
