Dear Henry,
It's almost hard to believe you're gone to Heaven, Henry, and not here on this Earthly plane, physically with us anymore. So many people are feeling your loss.
You meant so many things to different people in the lives you touched. A loving devoted Partner, a fabulous Dad, a devoted Grandpa, a great Brother and Uncle, a wonderful friend.
To the community of Whitecourt, a wonderfully giving man and friend. Again and again, yours and Lucy's name were brought up in general conversation for being the wonderful, caring and giving couple.
52 years of being my Brother in law. Wow.
You were more like a Brother. Time mellowed us both out. You were wonderfully giving and supportive. Thank you for that. Your sense humour was awesome. We shared alot of laughs.
I'll miss the texts badgering us as to where we were for our hikes. You always made sure you and Lucy arrived a few minutes earlier just so you could send that text. You never kept anyone waiting, not even God (left on your 75th birthday). Wow.
I'll miss that little greeting. I'd try to sneak up on you in your vehicle and give you a gentle shoulder punch. You'd always laugh and say "How you doin', my Dear".
I'll cherish the little examples of your woodwork. They're scattered through the house and outside.
So many wonderful memories you have left for not only me, but everyone's whose lives you've touched.
Theres a part of me that wishes I could give you one more shoulder punch, but I wouldn't want to ruffle your wings. God knows you've earned them.
Until we meet again, rest easy, my Brother. We love you.
You
