It is with great sorrow and celebration, leaving this note with the family. Henry was this Uncle (really second cousin) that had a great sense of humor that I thoroughly enjoyed being around. I have to assume that there was a major reunion in Heaven that will continue into eternity. Thank you Lord Jesus for knowing that Uncle Henry is at peace leaving a legacy unto the Lord with each of us.

May the Peace as promised by our Savior be wrapped around all of Henry's relatives and friends. He was an inspiration, gentleman, and a true Christian - a man who I have been so fortunate to have known. I have lost more than a cousin, but also a very good friend!
