    I am sorry to hear about your father. Jerry always enjoyed visiting with him and talking about education in general and particularly sports. We need more concerned citizens willing to make a difference as your father did. He was a real gentleman. I hope your many memories of him will be a comfort during this sad time. Sincerely, Shirley Wisdom

    The times my wife and I were able to visit with Henry were always very special times. From God to sports to family to education; this man had experience in everything. It was always a pleasure to pick his brain as well as get a vision of our American past through his eyes. It was a joy to see such a fire and passion for what he believed in and to have him be apart of our family for many years. You will be sorely missed and we all love you greatly Henry.

    Sorry for your loss. Henry and Betty were my neighbors when I first moved to the Village. They were so helpful to us as newcomers. I shall always remember their kindness.
