To the Crespi family --

It's been many, many years since we were all on 7th Street in Downers Grove. I read the item on Henry's death in the Argonne News (I am now employed there) and then looked for the obituary in the paper. I shared this information with my parents, Frank and Ardys, who are now living in Richardson, Texas. We all want to express our deepest sympathies to you in your loss.

Dear Joan and Family,

I was very sorry to hear of Henry's passing. I always enjoyed talking to you both and admired your family. Henry had a great sense of humor and I appreciated his love for children.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Eileen McMahon

We are so very sorry to learn of Henry's passing. We always enjoyed talking with both of you at the Grove gatherings.....always interesting subjects like knee surgeries, Argonne, the whole world of science, your wonderful family.



You remain in our thoughts and prayers.
