Words can not describe the kind, joyful, loving person my brother-in-law Rupert "Dicky" Henry was. I am blessed to have grown up with Dicky in my life. Thank you Dicky for showing me how love conquers all through all situations. There were fun times when Dicky played dominos with my brothers at our Mother's house, he would get so excited and loud it would sound like a fight broke out. He loved fishing as well. Dicky always fell asleep on the way to fishing, but just before we reached the last corner he would wake up. We named that corner Dicky's Bend after him. To my sister Diane, nephews Stephen and Paul, Dicky's brothers and sisters my heart thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you with comfort and peace during this time. Goodbye for now Dicky , I will miss you. Michael

To Steven and Aunt Diane, Deepest sympathy on your loss. I have many fond childhood memories of Uncle Dicky as a caring, giving and fun-loving uncle. Our prayers are with you during this time.

In the decades since I have known Dicky, I thought of him as a jovial chap who later became a member of our extended family. He confronted the several challenges of being a good husband, father and worker with a positive mind, hopeful always for the better tomorrow. For his bereaved nuclear family and siblings, I offer my prayers that in their grief, they will remember the joyful spirit that was his and be comforted by memories of hapier times. May his soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine upon him.

~ Evadne Coye

Dicky was a kind and generous person and he will be greatly missed. We were shocked and saddened to hear of hjs unexpected passing. Both he and Diane were kind to us when we lived in London. We offer our sincere condolences to our extended family. God bless and keep you in your sorrow. Gealy and Shari.

Life makes no promise, Special People come and go and our Cousin Dicky was one of those " Special Persons". His parting has left a void but let us fill it with remembered joys, the friendndships shared,his kind deeds, infectious laughter and the good times. They say there is a reason. They say that time will heal. But never time or reason will change the way we feel for no one will fully know the heartaches that lie beyind our smiles. Condolence to all our Family Members and may God strengthen us in this time of bereavement.

~ JOY & ' BROTHER ' MILLER

In our lives we have seen heartache and pain . There is no pain greater than the pain of losing someone . Espeacially someone close . As I grow older I look at the past I see the future and remember where I come from . I,ll never forget the times Uncle Dicky would come get me at Grandma Coye's and take me over to the Henry's . I would get tired or not keeping up and he would carry me on his shoulder . Always cared about us and how we are doing . My favorite Uncle . I will miss you Uncle Dicky. Aunty Dianne ,Steven and Paul my prayers are with you in this time . God bless . Love Gary

~ Gary Henry
