Henry started as a machinist with the Mead Company, specializing in paper and packaging, in 1953 and climbed the ladder of success to eventually become the Superintendent of Maintenance before retiring in 1982. He enjoyed fishing, bowling and playing golf when he was younger, the latter two of which he won several trophies for. Henry was an avid history buff that loved sharing his vast knowledge and charming wit with anyone who would sit down and chat with him. He loved all kinds of music, especially gospel hymnals he grew up singing in the church. Henry was known by all as an honorable and strong man, who fought many health battles but was able to be victorious through all by remaining in his own home until his last breath.
