Henry was a true entrepreneur. At one point, he and his brother, Gilbert, owned three laundromats and an import/export store. Later in 1961, he joined the San Antonio Fire Department, rising to the rank of Captain. Served the majority of his career at Station 8, B shift. Retiring after 35 years in 1995, Henry remained active in Service to the community. A member of the Retirees Association, he was elected to the Fire and Police Health Fund Board, where he served until 2022.

During the 1979 Fiesta Sniper shooting. Capt Henry who was in charge of number 8,s Truck took it upon himself to go scene of the shooting. Thinking ahead of what might be needed after hearing all the chaos on the department radio, Arriving in time to help with the rescues as Capt Henry and his men sprinted towards the gun fire. Henry didn't park the truck a block away and wait for a all clear, He just did it. A true hero. I remember the incident well. A time in history when Firemen and Policemen were the real thing.
