So sorry to hear of Henry's passing. I met him in New York about 1980 at Finis Jhung dance studio, taking ballet class.
We became friends, spent many days & nights talking about life, art, culture. I can never forget his smile. He was one of the truly nicest persons I have ever met. I am so sorry for your loss. I had not seen him in years, but will miss him very much.

not if but when
not if but when
when the world will end
waiting for the apocolypse
waiting for disaster
waiting the turn waiting for the end
last week drowned in the Mediterranean Sea
basking frolicking in the sun
swimming in the warm calm water
in the sea off the coast of turkey
not if but when then on the 13th of may
that was the day the end of Henry clay smith 3rd

So sad to hear of Henry's passing... I met him for the first time in 2000 while living at NY Aikikai. He let me help out on one of his shows with the Lakotah Sioux Dance Theatre, which was a wonderful experience. I hope you are at peace Henry, wherever you may be!

From Margret Roper Forum thru St. John Vianney we passed by you too lightly; you passed over too soon. RIP Henry

I am so sad to lose my dear friend and mentor Henry Smith. He was a great man. Always loving and full of laughter and sage advice. I have spent time on the mat with him and in the sweat lodge and it always filled me with joy. Henry was a houseguest at my home in LA and kept everyone amused. He is sailing free now!! My love and condolences go to his family and two sons. He always kept me up on what his boys were doing and was filled with pride and love.

It has been ages since I was last on the Aikido mat with Henry, but for many summer camps we were on the mat. I cherished that he had been a dancer as I had once fancied myself to be and I admired his energetic Aikido. It was a joy to practice with him. May he find his True Home!

Your untimely passing is a loss to us all. Although I had not seen you in many years I do remember how much fun it was to be on the mat with you. You truly were a force of nature and will be sorely missed my friend. Les

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.
We love you Uncle Henry!
