My most sincere condolences to Henry's entire family. I worked with Henry on many jobs over the ten years that I was his union sister. So many conversations, a ton of laughter and he always treated me with decency and respect. Then I would see him at the Veteran's fundraiser we hold every summer at the Department of Labor. Each time, he greeted me with a big hug and a smile. Rest in Peace Henry, you were a sweet giant of a man.
