Dear Runser Family. Please accept my sincere sympathy in the passing of Henry. We worked together at PennDOT. Both of us, chipper operators. We always referred to him as the gentle giant. He was a pleasure to work with. May he Rest In Peace.

I have always missed Henry and his fiddle, when he joined the band he taught us how to listen and he started each song. It was really hard to start a song without him after he had to quit. I am really sad to hear he has gone. Sympathy to Emily, his son and daughters, God Bless and love

Uncle Henry was my Dad's youngest brother. We had many fun years together when we were all much younger and just "kids" growing up on the farm.
We were sorry to hear of his passing and pray for his wife and family.

We are so sorry to hear of Hank's passing. He was such a great man and friend to Brenda and I. He taught me, and the other Country Blue band members so much through the years. Hank was the heart and soul of the band. He was so accomplished playing his fiddle. Our hearts go out to Emily, and pray for comfort to her and the family. We will miss you Hank.
