My condolences to Ann, Nancy and all of Bobby's family. We used to talk business stuff when I was a young man. It was fascinating listening to him. He was a wonderful Papa to all of his grand and great grandchildren. Rest in peace...

Henry was my Sunday School teacher when I was
very young at Harvie Rd. He helped me understand how important it is to be a Christian!
Henry was a very kind and thoughtful man!
I can guarantee Henry is in Heaven where he
belongs!
