I grew up in Salt Pond and knew Henry as a child and a friend of my brother, Joseph. He was always so well mannered and courteous to young and old alike.

Being the trooper that he was, he rolled with all the punches healthwise. May he soar with the angels. Our thoughts are with you Andrea, Effie and all the family. ❤️🌹
Words can’t express how we feel about Henry’s passing. He was one in a million. If you met Henry once you never forgot him- his sense of humour and his storytelling were legendary. In recent years he had more than his fair share of health problems but he was a tremendous inspiration to me and my family during my health issues this year. We are forever grateful.
Our sincere condolences go out to Effie and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers and please know that God will get you through this very difficult time. May He shower His blessings on you all. Rest in the peace of Christ, Henry…you deserve it.
