I am saddened to read this. I was looking up Robert, Henry's brother online after many years and saw this.

Henry was on every backpacking trip I took with his brother and father while I was in the Scout's with them. I remember Henry only as a young man, but he was a great guy.

I'm saddened to know that Henry has passed on. He was the nicest man; everyone knew he was a devoted dad and husband. We worked together at Viking Freight here in Ukiah. I never saw him angry or say an unkind word to anyone either. He will be missed by so many of us.

Venus, I'll always remember your whole family at every one of Henry's wrestling matches or track meets. What a wonderful family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Henry was on my wrestling team in high school and I send my deepest condolences to his family. He was a great person. I remember that unforgettable voice of team captain Henry cheering on all of us as we wrestled. I know I speak for all of us who were on his team that will be truly missed by all. There is a pretty tight long lasting bond that develops on wrestling teams which only wrestlers can understand and Henry was our leader. He will be missed by all of us.

Teresa and family.....My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. Henry was a great person with an affectious smile, even on the softball field when he played with my Uncle's Gerry and Joe. You could always count on that smile of his that would lift up everyone's spirits when the chips were down for the team. He will be truly missed by all that knew him. God Bless

My thoughts are with you Teresa, Kevin and Marci. Henry was a really great person that touched so many. We would run into each other after a 5-year absence and talk as though we were neighbors. It is that positive, kind spirit that will be truly missed.

Teresa and family.....My daughter and I go to RVCC. We had been praying and praying for your husband. I was keeping up with the journal as well. Thank you for sharing. I was so saddened to hear about Henry's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours. You seem like such a strong woman of the lord. It is my honor to know you and see you at church. We will be there on Saturday to pay our respects to your wonderful husband....Angela and Mariah-Kate

Teresa and family,
My heart is heavy as I send you my sincere sympathy. Henry was such a nice man, never had a harsh word and always had that infectious smile and a big hug to share. I will always remember the fun we had when he and Barry played softball. He will be greatly missed.
