It is with great sadness that I say good bye to an old friend. We met in 1983 at Scott's Restaurant introduced by my brother, Paul. What a remarkable human being. I was around when he opened Great Lakes Lawn Spray. Henry was innovative and had endless energy and enthusiasm for business. He had a kind heart donating his service to the shelter. Not unlike his sister's generous heart. While I had not seen him in several years, I can say the world has lost a great guy. To Natalie, Vanessa and Olivia and the rest of the family. I am sorry for your loss. Susan Loosley

Such a very fine man, father and supporter. Henry worked with us during our political battles and tried to be the best he could be.
