Henry was such a good friend and Brother. He called me Sis. I still think about him often. I have been very Blessed to have known him as a friend and Brother. We became very close because we worked in the library and shared a mother, who was head of the cataloging department. I think about his family and regret that I don't know them nor see them.

To the Family of Henry J. Bellaire,
As I share the grief that you are experiencing right now I want you to know that “Daddy Bellaire” (as I always called him) was a wonderful man and left a great impact on so many lives. As a student a Southern University I will never forget the acts of kindness he showed me from helping me get in school to giving me a job in his office. He was always the same and stood for right no matter the situation. The times that I and other Greek members shared with him while he was the Pan Hellenic Council advisor are unforgettable. Cherish the memories that will live on in each of you and in the lives of so many others. He Loved and was Loved, but God Loved Him Best. My continued prayers are with you.
See you later Daddy Bellaire, Rest in Peace knowing that you lived your commitment to God and your family to the very end. God Bless.

It has been such a great loss to lose Mr. Bellaire. He was always the same, wonderful person whenever I saw him. He always greeted me with a hug and smile no matter how many times I saw him. My heart has been so heavy because of this tremendous and totally senseless loss. The only saving grace I have is that God must have needed him in Heaven more than we needed him here on Earth. My family and I will continue praying for you all and always thank God that we had the chance to know such a beautiful person. You all are truly a great family.
With much love!

Liz,
A short time has passed, but nothing can take the place of my cousin Henry. We seldom saw eachother because I work overseas, but from time to time I would call him and see how he and the rest of the family was doing. Words can't express my lost, but I know he is in heaven because of the type of person he was in life.
Ironically, our family has produced five Alpha Phi Alpha men to include Henry. Henry was the true light that Alpha men bring to the table as it relates to service to mankind.
I miss Henry and will always keep your and your family close to my heart and in prayers.

We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one....especially so sudden. God is always prepared to help us through our loss....May God’s presence begin the healing in your heart and soul. May His love surround you with the comfort only He can give. May the Lord be with you all.
It was a great pleasure working with Henry in the Office of Academic Affairs at Southern University. This is where our close friendship began.
It was also a blessing to serve with him as his secretary for Immaculate Conception's 50th Anniversary Celebration. I will treasure those memories.
I thank Henry for the spiritual guidance and the deep appreciation for our unique and special gift....our Catholic faith and the great love for our Blessed Mother Mary.
Donovan appreciates the fatherly advice he gave him often. He will make his Uncle Henry proud.
I know he is in heaven decorating something beautifully.(smile) May Henry rest in peace!

Mrs. Bellaire,
This is my prayer.
Dear God in Heaven above, February 28, 2007 is the day that you took someone we love, Mr. Bellaire. We know that we need not worry because you are there with him with open arms.
Dear God in Heaven above, the man that stands before you was deeply loved although it seems like it is the end, now the memories of him shall begin.
Dear God in Heaven above, we are here today with sorrow and grief but, when we look up toward Heaven there will be a sense of relief because the man before you is in a better place.
February 28th was not a day of death, but rebirth because he lived a wonderful life here on earth. So on this day we will look back no more because on this day we know he's with you, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Mr. Bellaire will truly be missed. For all that knew him we know that we were blessed.
Dear God in Heaven above, the man that I refer to was a husband, father, brother, and dear friend. For when our time comes we know that we will see him again.
Dear God in Heaven above, we pray that you will guide us to see this through. Hold us and keep us safe in all that we do.

To the Henry Joseph Bellaire Family
My first association with "Mr. Bellaire" was as a teenager in the Upward Bound Program. Words cannot adequately express the positive influence that he had in my life the summer of '73, while I was one of his students. I remember that his kind words of encouragement empowered me to strive for things beyond my dreams. He made me feel like I was somebody and that I would really make a difference in my life.
I was very disappointed that I was unable to attend the public celebration of his life, as I was not able to free myself from my court duties. I will honor his life by doing for others as "Mr. Bellaire" would have. He was and will always be a tremendous role model in my life.

Even after you left the store, I still recalled your words. I also remember the close bond that your family shared, especially with your father. The loss of Mr. Henry is extremely hard for your family, but know that God has you all in the palm of His hands. Seek God and His comfort will sustain you. Be blessed.

Words can not express the lost of a man so wonderful and caring. Brother Bellaire was a true friend and brother to me. It was his guidance and friendship and his fraternal spirit the kept me at Southern University to finish my degree and his faith in GOD that help me through the rough times. There are many words and expressions to describe such a awesome person. The Bellaire family was truely Blessed to have had such a man in their life. There is comfort in knowing that because of his work on earth, Bro. Bellaire is home with his Savoir, no pain, no stress, no worries in the house of our FATHER.

I am so sorry to learn of your tremendous loss. I have no words of my own that can comfort you, but I know without a shadow of a doubt, THE GREAT COMFORTER can and will provide ALL that you need. Mr. Bellaire was a precious Jewel to all of his students. He was a man who exemplified utmost integrity and style in our eyes. I am so blessed and thankful to the Almighty God for allowing Mr. Bellaire and I to see and talk with each other recently. It had been at least twenty years since our last communication. I shall always remember that visit...for it was quite pleasant. At Southern University, Mr. Bellaire, Dr. Armstrong and a few others were great fatherly role models to me. They always personally encouraged me to be the best that I was created to be. By the special grace of God, Mr. Bellaire was pleased at my accomplishments and said so in our last visit. I will miss him, but I am so grateful for the great legacy he has left behind to challenge each of us. "Only genuine "REAL" people can leave GREAT Legacies" Mr. Henry Joseph Bellaire was one of them. My husband, our members, and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

He and I became acquainted when we were students at Southern University. He became my 'brother' and I, his 'sister'. We did not see each other often after graduation, but the warm friendship that developed, remained constant. I was very fortunate to have seen him a year ago.
We, who knew Henry, are so blessed to have the long lasting memories of a good honest man.

Moreover, however, I can attest to the fact that he was truly a man of impeccable integrity, a stalwart husband and father, a dedicated mentor to youth and a Servant of God.
May his immortal soul forever enjoy the beatific vision of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ-- the supreme love of his life.

To the Bellaire Family,
Your SUAF-HAC family is praying for your family. We are all feeling the deep loss of Mr. Bellaire. He has for many years been a strong supporter of Southern University and we are eternally appreciative of his legacy and devotion towards quality higher education. He will be deeply missed. In the midst of your sorrow, please remember that Jesus is the Light in your darkest hours. He was there to accept and receive our Beloved Brother Bellaire. There is no tragedy that could ever overcome the Eternal Joy of sitting at the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty. May you find peace in knowing that our Dear Brother Bellaire is indeed in the Presence of Jesus. It is Jesus who gives us the assurance that besides His Heavenly Home, there is no other place of Perfect Peace for the people of God.
In Prayer from Across the Miles,
Southern Univ. Alumni Federation – Huntsville Area Chapter (SUAF-HAC)

Gaylyn and Family,
My family grieves with your family. We are saddened by your recent life interruption. Your father had a "light" that comes only from a relationship with Christ. May you guys find peace, contentment, and comfort in your relationship with Christ. No one is ever prepared for such a tragedy..May God strengthen and keep you daily.
Love you!

JOB asked the question, If a man die, shall he live again, all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change comes. Thou shall call, and I will answer thee, thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. JOB 14:14-15. Deepest condolences to the Bellaire and Spikes Family. Our prayer is that God will give you the strength and the comfort you need. If we live as God demanded we shall see Mr. Bellaire again and I know he is in heaven smiling, talking and decorating.
Love Mr. & Mrs. Mose & Juanita Horton
