I remember Henry , or Hank as we knew him, from the days when we worked together in the library at Boston University's College of General Education. He was a student at BU after leaving the Navy and worked part time with us. Our paths separated when he went to the University of Wisconsin and I had not heard from or about him until I read his obituary. I am very sorry to learn of his death, but my memories of him are very special. He was a kind and fun loving young man and we who worked with him were very fond of him. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family.
