Henry Burton Tate, Jr.

I would run into "Henry from Baltimore" every now and then at a blues show. He was such a delightful man. Rest easy, Henry, rest easy.

I am a long time member of the Baltimore Blues Society .... I met Henry at the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival... he was volunteering at their booth... shch a positive intellectual man

An outstanding man that we were lucky enough to be able to call friend. R.I.P our dear friend.

Henry danced his way into the hearts of Cincy Blues Fest fans and mine around 2008. He had such a fun energy and was a favorite of all visiting blues entertainers - they all knew him. He's one of those characters you always remember and are glad you got to hang out with.

I met Henry many years ago at a Blues Festival in Wilmington Delaware at the Tubman/Garrett Park. I last saw and talked to Henry last year at a Blues concert in Old Greenbelt MD. It was truly a delight to be in his presence and he was definitely a social butterfly to say the least. Henry was definitely a BLUES AMBASSADOR and he was truly a joy to be around. May GOD bless his soul and his family. He will be missed by many........... Julius of Aberdeen Md

If you attended a live blues music event in the Mid-Atlantic region, chances are that you met / talked to / danced with Henry Tate. Henry is a force of nature and a national treasure. Hard to believe he's gone, but somehow I think his spirit will still be there when we're dancing to the blues. I'm sure he's got a tambourine and egg shaker and is rocking heaven in that heavenly band!

As a classmate at WHHS and lifetime friend/fellow music lover Henry Tate was always a class act I´m sure the ancestors will welcome him with open arms Rip Blessings

He was a wonderful man. May his memory be a blessing.

I took this photo of Henry & Bobby Rush in 2007. A great moment of many great memories I have with my friend Henry! He will be missed and remembered!
