The first time I met Henry was on the Table Rock docks. He, of course, had a fishing pole in his hand. The same day, we drove to get minnows, and he was eager to tell me amusing stories about Doug (...and I said, you mean "KIA?"). Later that night, as a few of us still fished in the dark, making jokes, drinking beers fresh out of coolers, he declared amidst chuckles, "I like her, Doug." He had a way of making me feel immediately accepted, which I'm sure is true of anyone who met him. After the trip, he'd ask Doug every time he talked to him if he'd proposed to me yet--which, I must say, made me feel pretty happy and flattered. (Just between me and you, Henry, thank you. I wouldn’t mind horribly if you happen to send Doug a quick vibe every now and again. If you have time.)

Even though I didn't get to spend much time with Henry, I will remember that night at the docks, I will remember him flipping pancakes to us all in the morning, and I will remember his kindness.

Henry, I promise to take good care of your nephew. I know you loved him, as you did all of your amazing family.

My thoughts are with you all.

Henry was the grandpa I never had. I remember when I played basketball in elementary school, Henry would come and watch me countless Saturdays. We would go eat at the breakfast place in Cheney and he would tell my mom and I stories. There was never a dull moment with Henry. He cared about others way more than he cared about himself. He raised five beautiful, intelligent, and awesome children who are doing the same thing with his grandchildren. Henry was completely selfless and loved buying others gifts. I remember receiving the movie Gremlins, a ball kit (with a soccer ball, basketball, and football), and many t-shirts from places he visited.

Table Rock won't ever be the same without Henry. I can't imagine him not checking the trotline for catfish, teasing his grandchildren (and nieces) by throwing minnows, fish, or crawdads, or cooking breakfast for all of us. His spirit and love lives on through his family and friends. He touched the lives of many and I'm relieved to know he's out of pain and can fish whenever he'd like to now. I love you Henry.

Henry personally touched all our lives.I cannot count the many lives he has helped an inspired. Henry gave more to this life than he took.
Henry used to be a duck hunter, but gave that up because he had compassion for taking it's life. This says allot about his character.
Henry shared his knowledge and love with all. He made us all better people by seeing his example. I know he is proud of all his children. He is a good friend and will be missed by all of us.
God bless all of you

I can't think of Henry without a smile on his face. Whether he was hiding easter eggs for us at Grandma and Grandpa's when we were kids, or telling a story that demanded our full attention. Few people have the gift of bringing people together like Uncle Henry, and he will definitely be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. He was too young, but he suffers no more and is finally at peace.

To all the family, my prayers & thoughts are with you as this I know will be hard for you. Henry was one of the best ever through all the hard times and the good times he was always a great friend. I will remember all the times together we all went fishing or just hanging out at the house. God Bless you all and strength be with you all.

I worked with Henry at Brittain, and he was a very knowledgeable man. He taught myself as well as many others. He was a funny man, and will always remember the patience he had for others. I'm sorry for the loss of your father and husband, but remember, this man affected many lives in a positive way. I'm glad that I knew him.
