As a young man, Henry proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard during the Korean War. During his service, he worked as a chef, a skill that shaped his lifelong passion for cooking. After his honorable discharge, Henry continued his culinary career as the owner and chef of The Cave Restaurant and Bar in his hometown of Plattsburgh, New York.

After selling his restaurant, Henry pursued a career in the construction business, where he built many beautiful homes. He was known as a hardworking and creative man who rarely sat still. Henry was always working, creating, and building. In addition to construction, he was also an artist and painted many beautiful works throughout his life.

Henry loved the outdoors and especially enjoyed hunting and fishing. Several of his prized deer mounts adorned the walls of his home. He continued hunting well into his later years, only stopping after his family insisted he retire from climbing into his deer stand after turning ninety. Henry also had a passion for gardening and maintained beautiful flower gardens and fish ponds. His prized koi pond was featured one year on the annual Tulsa Pond Tour.

Henry generously donated his time and talents to his church, helping to build and repair many items. Alongside Marie, he cooked meals and helped feed many members of the congregation. He truly loved the Lord and devoted much of his life to serving others through good deeds.

Henry's upbeat spirit, warm smile, and sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He lived a full and meaningful life and leaves behind a legacy of hard work, creativity, faith, and kindness.
