He made the best brunch in Chicago and even though we didn't see him often, he was always there for us. You could call Henry and he would help.

Dear Jan & Family. I was so sorry to hear of Henry's passing. Though we haven't been in touch for awhile, we had fond memories we shared when we were younger. He will be missed. With my deepest sympathy, cousin Iris Baer

To The Waller family and friends:
I knew Henry in high school and we shared many close friends. All who met Henry would say he was the consummate gentleman, class act,and total"mensch".It is commonplace to say that he is in a better place, which is true, but the better place is a better place because Henry is there.May God grant him eternal rest and grant his family the solace and comfort to deal with his loss

Dear Jan , Matt, and Becca
Emily ,Paul,Ruth and I are so saddened by the loss of Henry.
We cannot express enough that you are all not just friends from the neighborhood .but truly a part of our family. The memories of Henry are a basic part of our story as families and neighbors .Henry and Paul teasing, ending with Paul putting that ForSale sign in front of your house , Henry teasing Dad about his Antiquated Christmas decorations, Henry "accidentally" hosing us down, while we sunbathed next door . You will always be a part of our family and we are grateful ,and better ,for being a part of yours
All The Love
Emily , Barb, Paul , and Ruth

Dear Jan, Matt, and Becca.
Henry was a larger-than-life presence in the neighborhood and at the JRC Soup Kitchen. His wry humor, wit, warmth and generosity leave many memories that we will treasure. Sending our love and support,
Michael and Rhoda
