Henry Rasp Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kreamer Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc. - Annville on Dec. 9, 2025.
Henry Clifford Rasp passed away peacefully in his home on December 3, 2025, at the age of 74. Born to the late Rosanna (Walters) and Clifford Rasp on November 2, 1951.

Henry lived a life marked by service, skill, and a steady, dependable presence paired with a dry sense of humor that showed up exactly when it was needed that those around him loved and appreciated.

A U.S. Navy Veteran, he served proudly during the Vietnam War and carried a strong sense of patriotism throughout his life. Henry had a naturally creative and technical mind, often finding solutions where others saw obstacles. He was known for his inventions around his house that helped him in his day-to-day living. He enjoyed spending time outdoors and took honest pleasure in shooting, a pastime that suited both his precision and his appreciation for simple, grounded moments.

Henry is survived by his sisters Diana Rasp of Arizona and Linda Miller of Annville; his stepchildren Gary Light (wife Amanda), Cindy Fox (husband Jonathan), and Galen Light; and his grandchildren Jason Ballard, Sam Ballard, George Light, and David Light. Along with his great Grand Children Jawaun and Jeyla Ballard, He was preceded in death by his great love of his life wife, Dorothy, and his granddaughter, Sara Ballard.

Henry will be remembered and missed by those who knew him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, January 12, 2026 at 11AM from Kreamer Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc., 618 E. Main St., Annville. Inurnment will follow at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery with military honors. A visitation with his family will be held from 10AM until the time of his service at the funeral home.
