To Connie Alex and Eric. We want to express our deepest sympathy's to you all. Henry will be remembered by his wonderful smile he gave us each time we would see him. He made me laugh once when we said our ages! He said, he was older than me(lola)...by only 6 months,when I told him my age. He also made us laugh when he told us the story about when he got lost in Spain. He was such a humble man,and we will miss seeing him when we go to Canton!May God give you comfort and strength during this time of loss. We love you guys. John n Lola
