I can still see Robert Henry running down the basketball court at E-town High. He was a life-long friend, and was always so kind to me. He is in my thoughts and prayers, and he is at last reunited with his darling Dixie.

I will always remember the Robert Henry who loved to laugh, eat ice cream, entertain and otherwise enjoy life. He will be missed by many.
