So sorry to hear of Henry's passing.
My wife and I met Henry at our very first AAL Sales conference, and we were so honored to meet "Hank" (though we addressed him as "Mr. Scheig"). He was so genteel and honorable, the very essense of the business at that time; a truly great company leader!
Rest in peace, Henry, and rise in Glory!
