Henry was employed with Sanitary Dairy as a cottage cheese maker for over 20 years retiring in 1976. He also worked at the Fulton River Terminal.
Henry attended the Evangelical Free Church. He loved his garden and feeding his birds. His ability to be a great neighbor brought many friends. His noticeable big hands told his story ? hardworking, devoted, and full of great love for his family. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather.
