Henry was agreat friend from kindergarten thru high school. Several years after school we reconnected and spent memorial weekends with our families on our boats in Cuttyhunk and Martha's Vineyard with our families. He was a fun loving guy and a good friend. Rest in peace my friend
There is no one accurate accolade that encompasses everything that Henry is. The closest I can thiink of is him as an intelligent and dedicated guy in anything he was involved in. I, as well, knew Henry since Junior High. We were teammates then in football. Like everything else, he put everything into contributing to the team 100%. God speed to you my friend. I'm sure you'll be an integral function at the Pearly Gates as as well. We'll all be in line to meet once again. God bless!
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Henry. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and many friends during this time of grief. May all be comforted by thoughts of happier days shared with Henry.
Henry - "Hank" - was one of a kind, with 'kind' being a key word. Since we reunited after the 45th he was instrumental in 'off year' class get-togethers and keeping the class informed and connected through the website.
A sailor, teacher, and all around good guy and friend, our greatest 'adventure' was sailing Fritha via the intracoastal to North Carolina and being 'stuck' in Belhaven, NC during hurricane Sandy.
Breakfasts with the '65 guys, music with the Green St. Band (Henry played the harmonicas), captain's class (he became a licensed captain after the Fritha trip) ... so many great memories.
Rest in peace, my friend. Favorable breezes and following seas!
Sorry to hear the news about Henry. While I haven't seen him in decades, I do remember him well from my days at Normandin and NBHS. And from comments I have seen from those who knew him well, it sounded like he lived a full and rewarding life. As the saying goes...all men die, but not all men live." RIP Henry. 🙏🏻
Henry was one of the good guys. He was smarter than most and, except for a couple of really tough times in his life, he was a really upbeat and positive guy and fun to be with. Classmate, Teammate. Fraternity brother, Surfing buddy, and sailing friend. I will never forget our crazy surfing trips to everywhere with our fraternity brother, John Williams. The craziest trip of all was a January, 1969 midnight flight on Pan Am to Puerto Rico with our surfboards. We went to surf at Rincon where the World Surfing Championships were held the week before we got there. We got to surf wth some of the world's best who were hanging after the competition. Another crazy story: When Henry got "pinned", we loaded him in the trunk of Jeff Sopel's 1957 Chevy convertible to throw him in the campus pond to celebrate. Just before we got there, the car's engine caught fire and we all had to jump out of the car. Needless to say, Henry was the last person to get a safe distance away! I could go on, but for the sake of brevity, I am sure that there are a bunch of us who will miss Henry like he was family. Now we wait to see where his "remembrance" bottles that were released out to sea end up. Rest in peace Henry.
Just a short note to add to my previous post: Henry had given his QTV pin to Mary Jane. He had found his soulmate and the love of his life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mary Jane and the whole family.
I was so saddened to read the news of Henry's passing. He was such a nice guy and popular with everyone. Im glad he had such a fulfilling life and is being remembered so fondly. He was a big part and memory of the class of 1965

I cannot remember Henry without a smile on his face. He was unfailingly good natured and a kind soul.
