Henry was truly great friend of mine and sincerely express my deepest sympathy to his children. We got together often on Fridays with me, Spoof, big Mikey, sometimes Jerry Mayes and others and always had a wonderful time. Henry was a great character that I´ll always remember. We were all Catholics so drinking beer and having fun was always on our minds. Rest in peace my good friend and I´ll think of you until my time of passing.
