I may of only of known Mr. Henry for a short time but in that short time he shared a life time of memories. I told Mr. Henry that he was a Good Man and he said "how do you know I'm a good man?". By the stories he would tell and the way he spoke of his family. He loved his family so much that his face would just light up when Chris and Tim would show up to see him. Mr. Henry had a kind and gentle soul, love God and he wasn't afraid to tell you about his love for God. I cared for Mr. Henry at Stonecroft for his short stay there and I am honored to say that Henry has left memories that I can share with others. I was so excited to read his life story and to read that he lived in Marion Indiana for a short spell, you see I was born and raised in Marion but my dad is from Eckerty Indiana not to far from Mitchell. So Mr.Henry and I would talk about things he could remember in Marion, thats one way we could connect. A few times Mr Henry said grace for the meals and his prayers were heart felt and genuine. Mr. Henry I know when you took you last breath here on earth God welcomed you into his arms as said "well.done good and Faithful servant, you come now and rest" I will always remember Mr. Henry, his smile, the love that he had for God, for his wife and family. To the Clouse you are in my thoughts and prayers and thank you again for allowing me to care for your father.

Loved working with this guy in the Tool Room. Always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. My favorite: What’s a 42 Henway? Answer: a little more than a rooster. Sorry for your loss of a very special guy.

I only met him twice but I know he raised a wonderful son who loved him. I know he was an awesome woodworker. I remember a quote I heard from him which I never forget…”you’re never lost until you run out of gas”
