Henry was drafted into the U.S. Army at the age of 22. He served in Vietnam with honor.
Henry had many passions and talents but none so great as his love for classic cars. Henry was a “lucky duck.” He often won prizes for contests, or at cards, or lottery tickets. He was creative and artistic and a master of holiday decorating. Henry loved and cared deeply for his family and numerous friends.
He was the originator of the Nifty Fifties Car Club and a member of the National Nomad Club. Henry won Best in Show several times for his beautiful 1957 Nomad.
Henry left behind his three adorable Chihuahuas Moses, Samson, and Paloma. The “kids” as he referred to them were his whole heart.
Henry’s beloved Chihuahua’s are being graciously cared for by an organization called Until They’re Home.
