Henry was a fascinating man. He could do just about anything & everything. Henry worked with my Grandfather at Berlin Chapman, which was a Foundry in Berlin, Wisconsin. On the side he also sold and repaired TVs at the time when there were tubes inside the set. I remember one instance where our Family TV went on the fritz one night. My Dad called Henry that evening and Henry came right over because he didn't want me to miss "Captain Kangaroo" the next morning.
Henry was also Head Usher at my Church. I used to sneak in so Henry didn't see me because someone who was supposed to Usher wouldn't show up I'll always remember that gentle "tap" on the shoulder and Henry saying: "Can you Usher today?" . Thinking back on it, I'll bet I ushered more times than not for the 3 years he was Head Usher!
Life was anything but easy for Henry. He was captured by the Japanese during the WWII. None of knew that until his later years. It's something he NEVER talked about. During his last years he was very sick and finally God told him to "Come Home" .
Like I said, Henry was a special guy. Not to just his Family, but to every person he met.
