Dearest Kathy and Family,
I am so sad to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember spending so much time at your house when we were in high school. I also remember the great meals he would make. My favorite was his French "ONYON" (only he could say it with his great french/cajun accent!) soup. I pray God's mercy, peace and grace will be with you each day as you walk through these next difficult months. May the good memories replace the sadness. I wish I could be there with you. Please share warm hugs from me with your family. I thank God for His gift of the cross and pray that you and your family will find comfort in the words of Psalm 23.
Love, Dawn (Lockwood) Pyshny

We were so sorry to learn of Henry's passing. We so enjoyed the fun times we shared with him at Gray Tool Company.

He was a very special man who never met a stranger. The world was a brighter place with him in it.
