Growing up at GLP in the summers I have memories of Henry and my dad Rip Young and Frank Murphy Sr. Venetian night was always a big event for them and us as kids. His sense of humor and warm way always stood out at any event or party he attended. I will miss seeing his friendly smile at the "Fish" this summer. My thoughts and prayers are with his kids.

I met Henry and his family many years ago when my brother Michael Deasy took me to a pool party at GLP. Though I felt a little unsure going to a party where I knew no one, (I also had my 3 yr old son with me) it took 5 minutes for Henry to make me feel like I had known him forever. He was a very sweet and funny guy. He was a good friend of Mike and Deb's-and I know he will be missed terribly. RIP Henry.

Henry touched our lives in so many ways. He and MaryAnn were the best neighbors. We will all miss Mr. Fun very much. Pat, Bridget, Alexa, Chris, Tiger and all your families are in our thoughts and prayers. We are very sad.

Condolences and sympathy to Pat and the children. The Fisherman and GLP will certainly be the lesser because of Henry's absence. May his future be peaceful.

Dear Family, We are in Florida for the winter but I read the Day on line. When I read of your father's passing I started thinking of your parents, they were wonderful neighbors. I met Suzy T. and she told me that your father wasn't doing well , so now he is at peace.

My sincere condolences to the family. Henry was my first lawn care customer 30 years ago in Danbury based on a "strong" referral from my Dad. I appreciated his humor and generosity. Your Dad was a good friend to my family.
Sincerely,
Dave Chamberlain
