Being new to the area I joined Greene Hills Golf Club knowing no one. Henry was one of the first people I encountered, and we immediately became friends. It was his great personality that allowed our friendship to grow. I will always remember the good times we had.

I can't put into words the sorrow I have for the family. I have know Henry since the late 1980's and never have met a more honest, down to earth person anywhere. Henry will be missed by everyone that had the privilege to know him. Bless you all~ Dave Jenkins and Employees of Body Expressions Fitness

Dearest Susan, I can't believe that this has happened. Henry was my cousin and when we were in Virginia a few years ago, tried to see you all. He will be missed very much by all our family here in Georgia. He was always fun to be around when we would visit in our younger days. Our prayers and deepest sympathies are with you and all of his family. (I am related by his Aunt Carolyn on his mothers side.)
