Henry John DeGraaf of Stow, Ohio went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday, August 16th. Henry was a polymer chemist for 40 years who enjoyed working on side projects at home. Because Henry was outgoing and spontaneous, he was unforgettable to all who knew him. As a lover of people, he had a true gift for encouraging others. All his life he enjoyed learning and discussing God's Word. He leaves behind Irene, his loving wife of 58 years; three brothers, Ken, Gary, and Eddie; six sisters, Marie, Dorothy, MaryAnn, Beth, Connie, and Joan. He and his wife had 4 sons, Kevin (Evangeline), Don (Joy), David, and John (Cheryl); twenty grandchildren; and one great grandchild (so far), TigerLily. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to any gospel efforts that honor his Lord and Savior. The funeral service will be held at Community Vineyard Church (2543 State Rd, Cuyahoga Falls) on Tuesday, August 23rd at 10 am, after a viewing starting at 9:30 am. Visiting hours will be 6-8 pm on Monday at Adams Mason Funeral Home 791 E Market St, Akron 44305 330-535-9186.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8

Mr. Henry from the day we met, you have embedded memories in me. Your smile was so big and bright with eyes that twinkled when you laughed. If I were to hear God's voice, it would be described as yours. You will be missed and have left a legacy among us. You've fought the good fight and never quit. Thank you for being an example to me. I'll see you again. Rest well in Heaven Sir.
