Henry was a veteran of the United States Army and worked as a mechanic for many years. 

He was a member of Mapleton Church and enjoyed carpentry, fishing, and singing. He was also a gifted musician especially with the steel guitar. 

We lost a wonderful man with the biggest and most loving heart, and the best grandfather in the world.  Whether you called him grandpa, Bapa, Papa, Punkin, Dad, or just Tommy, he made everyone feel so loved and welcome in his presence. We love you, Grandpa. Although it is so difficult being here without you, we know you’re playing the steel guitar, singing, dancing and rejoicing with no more pain. 

A sharing service will be held Sunday, June 12, 2022 at 2:00 pm at the Mackinaw Community Center. The family will receive friends beginning at 10:00 am June 12.  Burial will be at the Mackinaw Township Cemetery at a later date.
