My thoughts and prayers go out respectfully to the family of Henry. You have lost more than any of us could ever hope to imagine. I was a financial advisor for American Express and Henry for a short time; as well as for Heather. He was an amazing man with an amazing family that he was truly devoted. May God bless you and be with you in this time of need. Vicky Tye

Before becomming the world renowned Spinners, they were young guys singing under the street lights in Royal Oak Township, Michigan. They practiced their smooth steps on the stage of Grant School during the warm afternoons where I was the summer playground director assisting Mr.George Mack. Being a fellow Lincoln High School friend, I supported their efforts and followed their careers. When they last performed in my adopted city of Los Angeles, I let Henry know that I was in the audience and was invited to his dressing room for a quick chat. The Spinners music has been the sound track of my life. To honor their legacy, I have donated funds to the 2024 Ferndale High School Scholarship Fund in the name of Henry Fambrough and all of the Spinners. Rest in peace and power.

i would like to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to the family of the late Henry Fambrough, the last surviving original member of the iconic group the Spinners. Henry was easily recognizable by his trademark handlebar mosutache and smooth baritone voice. I went to see the Spinners twice in concert, first in 1995 as part of the legends of Motown at the old Universal Ampitheater,and again in 2003 at the Pala casino. Mr. Henry, thank you for the songs "One of a Kind (Love Affair)", Could it be I'm falling in love, Mighty Love,Sadie and Games People Play. You are now with the other members Phillipe Wynne, Billy Henderson, Bobby Smith and Pervis Jackson.I would send my condolences to Mr G.C. Cameron and Mr John Edwards. and the current members of the Spinners Mr C J Jefferson, Marvin Taylor, Jesse Peck and Ronnie Moss. I have all of the Spinnners in my collection around my house. Thank you Gina L. Albert Altadena,Ca

I would lke to extend condolences to the family and friends of Henry Fambrough, who was the last member of such a fantastic group of entertainers. My husband is a music buff who loves the "Spinners" as well as the Temptations, The Impressions and many other groups from that genre of music. He would point out however that there was distinct sound that the "Spinners" had that could not be matched. There is no doubt that he will truly be missed.
May you always keep treasured memories of your dear loved one close to your heart. And may you also find comfort knowing that God understands your pain and may he give you the strength needed to continue on this journey of life.
Sincerely,
