How sad it is to hear the news about Henry. I had the pleasure of meeting him while we both worked at Pioneer/Sherwood, and playing softball together in the early-mid ‘70s (almost 50 years ago), and I’ve considered him a good friend ever since. I know he will be greatly missed by many.
Kind thoughts and prayers are going out to his family and friends. May God grant you strength and comfort for the difficult days ahead, and fond memories for the years to come.

David & Sheila Tackett Family - May 10, 2020
We were so proud to call Henry our brother, uncle and friend. He was honest, hard-working, responsible, a man of integrity - a man of his word. Although he could very serious minded, he mostly loved making people laugh. Most of all he loved his family. You could always depend on him to attend our family gatherings. He had many friends and will be deeply missed by all. He fought a good fight, he finished his course, he kept the faith. He was a true soldier to the end. Our love and prayers go out to Mary, her sons and their families.
