Henry spent many an hour in our home in Manitou Springs, both as a homesitter and dog sitter, while our family was away on vacation. It was so good to have someone like Henry to rely upon - so trustworthy and such a blessing to our family! We kept in contact with Henry over the years, and enjoyed his Christmas letters. He will be missed, and yes, we'll see you again someday! God blessed Henry and may He continue to bless his family and friends.

I have great memories of having dinner at Henry's home, listening to his most recent globe-trotting adventures back in the early '80's.

Henry,

We were saddened by your departure but joyful, knowing you are with Jesus and no longer will have to live in the fleshly body that you struggled with for so many years.

You never complained. Thank for the memories when our kids were little and all your visits.

I met Henry on 2 January 1980, and he was a great friend to everyone he met. His house was always open to everyone and he enjoyed doing for others. He was always entertaining folks in his small apartments, and was there to encourage others.



Heaven has welcomed a man who took his calling of service to heart.
