After graduating from St. Joseph High School in 1951 he attended The College of the Holy Cross and Georgetown University where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. Upon graduation, he proudly served in the United States Air Force from 1959-1961. Upon completion of his service, he began his private dental practice in Manchester at which he served his community for over 50 years.

Henry was a devout Catholic. He was devoted to praying the rosary as a source of strength and comfort. The faith in his heart was unmeasurable. He was a devoted and committed man to his family. He demonstrated a deep and unwavering love, responsibility, and dedication, prioritizing his loved one's needs and wellbeing above all else. His grandchildren were his heart and soul. He relished his role of being a Dziadziu. He demonstrated a deep commitment to caring for others, a quality that defined his life's journey. He actively supported various causes and organizations through both his time and financial contributions. Henry had a humble spirit despite his many civic and professional accomplishments and accolades.

He had a love for sports, playing many in his younger years and watching games on television. In addition, Henry took great pride in his Polish heritage. He wore his Polishness like a badge of honor.

Henry will be profoundly missed and forever remembered with love and gratitude by his family and friends and all those whose lives he enriched. Na zawaze kochany. It was both an honor to love Dziadziu and be loved by him.
