Geri, Desiree, Dan and David,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have many found memories of spending holidays when I was little with your family. I will always remember your dad's bright smile. He always seemed happy. I know he touched many lives and will be missed.

I was saddened to learn of Henry's passing. He used to skate at Lombard Roller Rink and enjoyed that as well as his many ski trips and loved to spin his tales... He will be missed.

My Uncle Henry will be missed. He was a very good person & always had a smile on his face. I remember many wonderful things about him. As a child we would go with him & his family to the beach & fun family things, He loved the outdoors. He like to fish, ski, swim & roller skate. He was a very fun person. He did fight a fight. Loving Uncle. I will miss my Unc. I Love you, Colleen.
