I will always remember Henry, first as family. Even though he wasn´t family by blood, he was through marriage.
Henry will always be Mr. hotdog man! All the fond memories spending time with him and Shirley at the Lake, Easter and Birthdays at the reservoir.
His love for his family always came first. He was a proud dad and papa!
You will be missed Henry and I am so grateful I got to see you one last time.

My heart breaks for Charlene, Jeff, Connor, Carly, Jordyn and Maddie. Henry is now with the love of his life in eternal love and peace. He was so happy to be able to attend his Grandson Connor's wedding to Katie on 11/2, never thought this would be the last time I would see you. RIP Henry Leslie and Adriana
