A Korean War veteran, Henry was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Hard working and reliable, he worked for The Emhart Corporation for 36 years. A nature lover, Henry enjoyed hunting, fishing, and birding. As an avid member of the senior community in Berlin and Cromwell, he enjoyed square dancing, bingo and Wii. A lover of music, he was proficient in many instruments especially in his younger days when he played professionally in orchestras and bands. A sports fan, he cheered for the Red Sox and Pittsburgh Steelers. He will be remembered for his kind and gentle nature, his blue eyes, his sense of humor and love of family and friends.
Our family would like to thank the professionals at The Hospital of Central Connecticut Hospice unit for their kindness and care in his final days.
