My name is Bert Crisp and I was employed by Tresco earlier this past year. I had the privilege of knowing Henry through the Vocational Services Department at Tresco. Although I have moved to Louisiana, I still keep in touch with some of the Tresco Staff. I enjoyed working with Henry and being around him. He was a happy guy. My sincere condolences to his family. I'm more than sure that god had a special project for Henry..and our friend now has his wings.
