  20. Henry was a member of the Liberty Corner family for 27 years where he worked and played in his community. He was a dog lover, potter, and a stranger to no one. One of my fondest memories of Henry is when he came to my home with Joe one Saturday morning to deliver oil. As soon as he arrived he said ‘Where’s that dog ‘Honey’, I want to see her’ ? He came prepared with a bag full of treats. We sat on my porch swing and talked and then he sat on the floor so he could play with Honey and feed her the bag of treats. Thank you Laura and Joe for the privilege of knowing and loving your dear son. He will be greatly missed.

  21. I will always remember Henry sharing his sunshine no matter who he came in contact with. I will hold on to those fond memories at LCE. May all of Henry’s family take comfort in knowing he was much loved by all and will be missed.
    Sincerely, Joseph Viola

  22. I met Henry at AB-Tech. He always came by to visit his friend Calven Davidson & during that time I became a friend of Henry’s. And if you new Henry the way I new him, He was your friend for life. As I recall he loved everyone down at the shop. We will miss him dearly!

  23. Henry always took the time to speak, laugh, and ask how you were… a hearty laugh, a lovely smile, a gentle spirit. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him at LCE!!!
