  1. Uncle Henry was always helping others. He helped my husband, Charlie and I, with getting a pin# so we could save on our Cadillac. We took him out to eat at Grays to thank him with my family and dad my mom. Henry, who was always positive with us, went on and on about how great our kids, Sydney and Rainer were and how smart they were too. Thank you Henry!! ❤

  2. Henry is my Uncle, one of my fathers older brothers, he was always so nice to me. Every time I ever saw him he always engaged me in conversation and treated me with kindness and respect. I have nothing but fond and warm memories of him. He was always well dressed, well mannered, well groomed, polite and never over-bearing. I cannot imagine anyone would ever have anything but nice things to say about him. Thank you so much for all of the positivity you brought to this world!

  5. Uncle Henry, What an incredible Man, Son, Brother, Nephew, Cousin, Husband, Father, Uncle, Grandfather, and friend, you have been to all of us! To me, your niece, Tracy, or as you called me, Trace, you have always shined. You showed me what being loving, unselfish, generous, hard working, supportive, and a true lover of family and babies looks like! I truly admire you and everything that you achieved in your 77 years. You were too young to leave us, but I know you are all smiles and full of stories for all of our family that you are with now. Knowing you are with your Daddy and Mommy, Grandparents, and your baby Brothers, Amos and Estill, gives me some comfort. I will always miss your warm smile and tender heart.❤️ Love you so much, Trace PS, Here are some handsome pictures of you, including the one I just sent you, in your Christmas Card, of you and Cheryl, that you wanted to enlarge and have framed for everyone to see.

  6. Henry was a great union official. As Chairman of LU 933, Henry worked tirelessly for the benefit of the membership. I remember how he had a smile for everyone and a kind word. He was a great mentor and we will miss him. Ron Lon Chairman LU 933retirees

  11. Henry and I met while attending a class in Detroit, Michigan. He was a great guy and did much for me when I applied to Saturn. He is the one who asked me to think about joining Saturn. My plant had announced its closing and I gave a lot of thought about what Henry had said about the new Plant. I was convinced and sent Henry a reply. He sent me an application and I joined Saturn on1 June 1987. He was always a great friend and advisor. He will be missed by those who knew him and associated with him. Goodbye, my friend.
