Sue, Tom, Marion and Family:
I just learned today of Tom's passing. I want to sent my deepest sympathy to all of you. I am sorry that I did not know earlier so that I could have paid my respects personally. Tom always treated our family fairly as we purchased cars from him and he purchased business services from us. My father who passed away ten years ago knew Tom well and he spoke very highly of Tom. Our family's prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathies and prayers are with the entire Henry family. I will remember so many things about Uncle Tom, his booming voice saying "Hey Sweetie" followed by that warm smile and embrace whenever I saw him. He was always so good to our family, whether it was entertaining us at the farm and home, keeping us in "wheels", or helping us in so many ways when our dad died. He was a man of conviction and priciple and I am a better person for having known him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tommy, Sue, Marion and the rest of Tom's family. I have so many great memories of Tom- he and my Dad were very close so we got to see him frequently for at least the last 50 years. I can still picture him showing us with great pride his train sets over Christmas every year, giving us model chevy's as kids, visits to his home and the country, and mostly always telling us great stories about... everything. Not to mention that he kept me in brand new camaros every year during college (with a summer corvette). I always looked forward to seeing him and enjoying his company. Tom was also extraordinarily helpful in many ways after my Dad passed away. He will be greatly missed.

I am presently a technician at Tom Henry Chevrolet and I received a phone call this weekend at home from my boss letting me know that Mr. Henry had passed away . I never meet Mr. Henry but I feel I must let the family know that I send my sympathy for their loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Henry family. It has been a great pleasure getting to know all of you. I remember at one of the first car cruises held at Tom Henry that PACE was a part of - there was an older gentleman standing outside watching everyone clean up and I asked if he enjoyed the show and he said "Yes very much" - then I asked what his name was and he told me "Tom Henry" - so I thanked him for starting this establishmet so many of us could enjoy our cars and our comrades - and he smiled so proudly and said "you are welcome"! So again - Thank You Tom Henry - please know your comrades thank you! God Bless You and go in Peace.

Tom gave me my first full-time job working as an auto technician at Tom Henry Chevrolet. He also provided me my first opportunity to experience Arizona, a place I immediately fell in love with and now call home. He was a good man and will surely be missed by all who had the pleasure of kwowing him. Deepest Sympathy
