A conversation with Henny would always improve your day. His enthusiasm was contagious. He will truly be missed by all of those who knew him and had the pleasure of working with him.

There is not enough space on this page to describe our 30+ year relationship. But just a few words:
* Dedication to KROHNE and family
* Thoroughness
* Kindness towards others
* "Don't come back without the order"
* "Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon"

And as always his parting word:
"LATER!"
We'll all miss you Henny..........LATER!!!

Thank you, Henny! For your love of life, your expertise in municipal business, and a smile that never quit...even over the phone. I have been blessed to have known you.

Buenos Días Señor Maoel' it was his greeting when we see each other in any activity within KROHNE. He was a spectacular human-being willing to help all with his knowledge and professionalism. I can say that very few rarely approach this man and his friendship. My condolences to his family and may the Good Lord give all the strength to move forward considering that each one carries always a piece of him with them.

I can't forget those Hermitage St. Holy Family, Hillside playground & Roman days.You may be gone from earth but not from our memories. Say hi to mom & dad for me as you get together again.

I met Henny in June 1967 when I went to work at Cochrane. Cochrane sat two people to a cubicle and Henny and I sat together for nearly seven years. Can you imagine sitting with someone who was the kindest and most thoughtful person you would ever meet for all those years, and for the rest of your life? Since then I have traveled the world, but I have never met a better man than Henny Frick. He was a happy soul who worked hard to make everyone feel the same way he did. I just wish we had talked more than we did over the last few years but cannot change that now. I do know that the world needs more people like Henny, and I do know the world is poorer for his loss. What I know most though is that heaven is now that much richer for having Henny, and I do not doubt that the good lord will give him a job picking us up in his Deuce and a Half and greeting us all with a hardy How ya doing this morning. Love you Henny. I know you're an Army guy but as we say in the Navy, Fair winds and following seas. Until we meet again, my friend always, God Bless you. Rest in Peace.

Happy heavenly birthday Henny! Seventy Three years ago today the "Twins" were born, a.k.a. Henny and Jimmy just five doors away from me. My best friends from that day (even though we didn't know it at the time) and forever. We had the greatest friendship anyone could ever dream of and I will miss you as will everyone else who has been your friend.

Your bud,
Jim

H. Frick, that was his way of signing his name to any document. I picked that habit up from him and never put it down. A close friend who I often referred to as "America's Oldest Teenager," an exceptionally good person, wonderful husband and father. He always spoke of "The Lovely Marcell" along with stories of Amanda & Kendall. No matter how old they were, Henny would call up to them on Christmas morning and announce loudly, Santy Claus was here!

We worked at Krohne America in Wayne PA back in 1984 and every day was a laugh riot with him. He had tremendous industry and product knowledge and was very dedicated to his work. On occasion would have a beer after work and I would ask him how he stayed out of trouble with Marcell. His advice to me was to tell your wife "I won't be late" and never state a specific time.

He has been in my thoughts the past few months and I wish I spoke to him. The world is less fun to be in without Henny. May perpetual light shine upon him and may God bless his family going through this emotional time knowing in their hearts he is no longer suffering and in a far better place.

I was not in the company of Henry that much over the years. But, the occasions that we were in each others company.
Henry always remembered me with a hardy handshake, great smile, and with an enthusiastic how ya' doing.
God bless Henry Frick III.

Sure will miss Henny. We worked together for a long time and actually had him in our office for a while as a "tenant" . Henny was always helpful, new the product and especially "friendly".

I am very sad to hear of Henny's passing. He was a good man, and had an amazing sense for one of the hardest sectors of the business to understand. He will be missed.

You would be hard pressed to find a soul on earth that did not truly adore Henny!

Henny was all the things so many aspire to be: kind, warm, funny, smart, a dash of devilish, and so very respected.

To see him speak of Marcel and the girls was akin to watching fireworks - he literally lit up! Oh how he loved you all.

It was an honor to know Henny, may he rest in peace.

Hen, you will be missed Monday nights won't be the same

Henny the best class specialist for water and waste water measurement when he was working at KROHNE. I worked with Henny for over 11 years. I can always remember Henny keeping me in the group and showing me around the world of water and wastewater industry. I will miss you Henny !

Many great things could be said about him, but what comes to mind most is that Henny knew how to light up a room just by entering it. Sincerity, caring, good humor and incredible helpfulness are just a few adjectives I can use to describe him. I've missed him since he left KROHNE a few years ago but now it hits home even harder.
A full helping of God's blessings I wish to all who knew and loved him, especially his close family. My thoughts are with you.

Henny Frick AKA Dad. We were in New Orleans having Dinner and Henny was telling his jokes as usual, the women sitting next to us said it was so nice seeing a dad and his son having so much fun together. Sine that day when we would see each other I would greet him as dad with a big hug. one of many great memories of Henny AKA Dad. Rest in peace my friend.

My Career with Krohne started with Henny on Eagle School Road in Wayne, PA. almost 40 years ago. I always appreciated Henny's humor and above all his devotion and loyalty to Krohne for so many years. Dear Henny, old friend, rest in peace. You will always be in our hearts.

Heaven is a much richer place with Henny in it. I knew Henny 28 years and always admired his energy and zest for laughter and life. There are too many wonderful stories to count. I can hear him saying "And you are?". He taught me how to play roulette in Atlantic city. I will cheer on his Villanova Wildcats when they are not Playing Syracuse in post season play. My condolences to Marcel and their family. RIP my friend.

Henny "The Rock" Frick...

I have never met a more Jovial soul. Henny was instrumental in my start, and success with Krohne some 22 years ago. His openness and shared knowledge was there for anyone who needed it. His "Glad you got to see me" is now and forever, truly "Glad I got to know you" sir, may God bless you and your family...

I worked with Henny for 30+ years and won't forget the many road trips. He had a million lines that he used a million times but you couldn't help but laugh along with him every time he used one ... rest in peace old friend

The world is a much sadder place without H Frick. I knew whim thru working at Krohne and could always count on him for a good laugh and an encouraging word. We have lost one of the kindest, most decent human beings to walk the earth. God bless you Henny.

What I will miss most is his wonderful sense of humor. He had a very infectious laugh and you always would join him. He invented a title for himself at work as "The Big Cheese" and I can substantiate his claim that he could walk on water since I actually witnessed it! Everyone that Henny met became his friend and I will cherish his friendship of 52 years forever.
Rest in peace Hen - you will be sorely missed by everyone who knew you. God Bless You.
