He was heavily involved with the basketball program at St Kilian's including coaching both boys and girls (including many of his nieces and nephews), running the annual basketball tournament, setting the schedules and spent many hours maintaining the gym floor.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Henry in coordinating the area Catholic basketball and volleyball leagues. Henry was truly an inspiration and a model of service to St. Kilian's athletic programs. He was always a positive influence on youth sports and kept the focus on what was really important...the total development of young student-athletes. His humor at meetings was legendary. Thanks Henry for all you gave to the young Catholic athletes of our schools.
