Henry was such a loving grandfather. He loved his grandchildren more than anyone could imagine. As the grandchildren would call him, "Pop Pop" he would pick them up and take them to Chuck E. Cheese, Dave & Buster or out for a simple meal to McDonald's. His grandchildren would light his world and kept him smiling.

He was preceded in death by three brothers, L.V., Leroy and Anthony (Tony).
