It was with great sadness that I learned of Henry's passing. I have such fond memories of our study hall together during the 1972–73 school year, and I still remember how pleasantly surprised and delighted I was when he asked me to the Winter Ball in 1972.
Henry had a wonderful sense of humor and was an extraordinarily talented artist who could draw just about anything. His artwork graced the front and back covers of our 1976 Del Mar High School yearbook, and to this day, I enjoy looking at those covers and recognizing the familiar faces of our classmates. It never gets old!
I will always remember Henry with great fondness, not only for his remarkable artistic talent and wonderful sense of humor, but also for the genuinely kind person he was. My heartfelt condolences to his family and all who knew and loved him.
