Henry, also known as "Ricky," attended Lampasas High School and proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1971-1977.  He worked as a roofer for many years, was a long-time employee of Lampasas Building Components, and also worked in lawn care.  Henry was a hard worker who loved being outdoors.  You could always find him singing his silly songs, cracking jokes, and carrying a bag full of candy--especially Jolly Ranchers.

He was preceded in death by his brothers, Daniel, Robert, Johnny, and Joey, and his sisters, Sylvia, Sandra, and Maria.

Henry is survived by his daughters, Elisandra Torrez of Arizona and Vanessa Sanchez of Lampasas; his sons, Michael Sanchez, Abraham Sanchez, and Vincent (Diamantina) Sanchez, all of Lampasas, and stepdaughter, Rachel Garza.  He is also survived by six granddaughters, four grandsons, and several great-grandchildren.

Additional survivors include his siblings, Rose (Bob) Quenomoen, Victoria (Rick) Purser, Richard (Laura) Sanchez, Sylvano Jr., David Gonzales and Allan Sunberg, Sandy (Xavier) Amador, MaryLou Plumley, Dolores Sanchez, Dora (Lonnie) Davila, Sophia Lerma, Jeremiah Sanchez, Elaine Sanchez, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and other beloved relatives.

Henry will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
