  1. Sorry, Dave & Cheryl. I’ve come to know your families through FOP. Cheryl’s words above articulate how I know him though I’ve never met Henry.

  2. If you know Dave at all, you just know that he must have wonderful parents and a wonderful family to turn out the way he is. My sympathies are with you, Dave and Cheryl. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

  3. That is a lovely picture of who surely was a lovely man. And knowing Dave, he surely came from an amazing role model. So sorry Dave and Cheryl that you’ve lost such a great person in your life. I’ll think of you and you’ll be in my prayers.

  4. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, but grateful to know such people exist and that Dave had the great fortune of calling one of them Dad. What a blessing it must have been to have him in your lives. Though he will be sorely missed, I know a part of him will live on through you, through the lessons he taught you, and through the people you have become with his influence in your lives.

  5. Thank you, Kelley, Roger, Ele, Janet, Jenni, Tom and Ginger.

    In all the years I’ve known Henry, I don’t think I ever heard him complain, and he never said an unkind word about anyone, not one unkind word.

    Dave has had good role models and learned many good qualities from his parents.

  6. Dear Dave and Cheryl,
    My thoughts are with you and your family during this time of loss. It is so sad when we lose our loved ones.

  7. I second the comments of elebrown above… Dave and Cheryl – We are so sorry for your loss. And Dave, be sure to take all the time you need, we have you covered.

  8. Dave and Cheryl,
    I am so sorry for your loss. Henry looks like such a wonderful man. I wish I could have met him. You are in my prayers.

  9. Cheryl and Dave.. I am not so good at these things, so please accept the words as they are meant… direct from the heart.
    May our Creator take Henry by the hand and lead him to his very own seat of Glory so he can continue to look upon his loved ones and guide them, as if he were there in the flesh.
