Philip J. Henry
January 25, 1946 - February 9, 2022
Phil escaped the grip of Parkinson's Disease on February 9, 2022, surrounded by his family, listening to his favorite music, and hearing recollections of happy times.
Philip was born on January 25, 1946 in Manchester, England, the second of four children, into a close and loving family. After completing his law degree at Holborn College of Law, London University, Phil moved to San Francisco in 1970, where he had previously met his future wife, Susan Evans. He and Susan were married for over 47 years.
Phil became an attorney in California and provided pro-bono assistance to many. His career, however, became the hotel business in San Francisco, which he found to be more enjoyable. Phil was well-known in the local hotel industry and was the recipient of the San Francisco Hotel Hero Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
Phil was known for his wonderful sense of humor, wit, intelligence, kindness, and unassuming nature. Phil had the special gift of making other people feel comfortable. He was famous for his stories, which became better with each telling. Phil was a talented soccer and tennis player and a lifelong fan of Manchester United.
Besides his wife Susan, Phil is survived by his children, Christopher, David, and Sara Henry Dinwiddie, son-in-law Chris Dinwiddie, and granddaughter Harper. He is also survived by his sister, Barbara Buchan, and his brother, Peter Henry, and a large extended family in England.
Phil will be missed and remembered with fondness and love. Donations are encouraged to any The Parkinson's Foundation.
