Sue, I am so sorry to hear of Henry's passing. My sincere sympathy.


SUE: I am sorry for your loss. Jess and I were the founders of the Hector band, and we all enjoyed it very much. I am also a 60yr.member of the Masonic Lodge

Sue, Although I didn't get to meet Henry, I know I would have loved him. It was an honor to walk with you thru such a difficult time. These guys were special& so much alike. Blessings & Thank you. Norma & kids

Sue ~ Another angel has arrived in Heaven. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.

Here is a Bible verse and poem we hope brings comfort.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith....
II Timothy 4:7

An Empty House

It’s not as if I’m going,
To an empty house, you see.
I know I’m going up there,
With my other family.

I want no tears or crying.
I want to see you smile.
Just stay with me and hold my hand
As I walk that last long mile.

My life’s been good and filled with love,
Just see how I’ve been blessed.
I’ve seen a lot and done a lot,
I’ve had the very best.

Why, look around and you will see,
As all of you are here.
That no one could have asked for more ~
You’re all so very dear.

No, it’s not an empty house,
This place I’m traveling to,
I’m just arriving sooner,
Than any one of you.

--Patti Koch '99

We lost a wonderful man this morning. I will fondly remember the many lunches we had together at the Shrine as we solved the world's problems and will never forget his remarkable year as Potentate. Henry truly exemplified Masonry and Shrinedom in all that he did.

Rest in Peace, my friend.

I will remember Henry for his big smile and joking personally. I thought of Henry and Sue as very close friends.

Henry we worked hard to get through this but the fight was to much. I only knew you for a short time but enjoyed our chats about Olin, your love of your family and your life. You have imprinted upon my heart. So sorry Sue and family to hear of your loss. Marylou RN on 3 Center @ St. Luke's
