From Henry’s wife: On Sunday November 10th, Henry fell and broke his hip. On Sunday November 17th he passed away. On Sunday December 29th I spread his ashes, along with those of Mookie his dog and SWAG his rabbit, under the palos verde tree in the front yard, as was his request. I attached Henry's cremation tag and SWAG's name tag to Mookie's collar and hung them, along with my rosary, from a branch of the tree. I did not share this information until New Years Eve partly because I wasn't strong enough and partly because I felt it was a fitting time for it. In keeping with Henry's sense of humor, he told me that in lieu of prayers people should knock back a box of Hot Tamales Candy which he considered part of the USDA food pyramid for the entire 35 years we spent together.This message has been edited.

Henry and I became friends in 2008 and he introduced me to this forum and The Garage Journal. I have poorer since, but do not regret a moment. Henry was a very smart man that excelled at many things including fine woodworking, shooting, reloading, IT and server management, and all things mechanical. I am frustrated and devastated by the loss of my friend. I am helping his wife with the details as he wanted, and instructed her to request help. I know he may not have been as active the last year or so, but he spoke often and fondly of this forum. Hunt As Henry would say: from South Congress. | |||

Actually, your friend posted here under the screen name henryaz https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...rtType=1&u=834102885 In the eighteen and a half years he was a member here, I had a few occasions to correspond with Henry and I knew him to be a kind man, generous with his friends. I am genuinely saddened to hear of his passing. | |||

I was confused by the screen name, but after para's post, I remember him. I'm sorry to hear of his passing, but thank you for letting us know. I always fear a member passes and no one ever hears about it. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

I am sorry to hear of his passing. I really appreciated his humor and posts. He will be missed a great deal. The “lol” thread | |||

I'm sorry to read about your loss. I do agree with him that Hot Tamales are part of the FDA's food pyramid. I actually received a bag for Christmas and will eat a few tonight in his memory. __________________________ | |||

I am saddened to hear this. I own a .45 of his that he sold me 6 years ago. I was just thinking of him the other day, and looked up his username here, and sadly now know why he hasn't posted in awhile. He will be missed. Thank you for letting us know.

Well damn. We never met, but because I lived in the Wickenburg area, we shared that locale and communicated about it, in threads and once or twice in emails. I’m disappointed that I never we got to meet Henry, especially since I have two old friends who live in Congress, and will certainly get down there someday. I hope his wife is managing ok, I’m sure it’s tough, he was quite obviously a great guy. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

I’m always sorry when one of our number passes. Though I didn’t know him nor likely ever corresponded with him, Henry’s passing is no different. May God keep him close and bring peace to his family. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I now recognize the corrected username. So sorry to hear he passed away. May he rest in peace. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

According to my records Henry was born in 1947, so he passed at age 77. Yes, I’ll miss him. Serious about crackers | |||

May he rest in peace. Seemed like a legit nice guy. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

A few months ago, he posted something to the effect that he derived amusement from the thought that people would try to look up where South Congress, AZ is. Being new to the area, and having been one who paid attention to, and looked for his posts, I think it would make him smile to know that I am one of those people.  I am saddened to hear of his passing. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Dammit. Henry was always a straight up guy. Even though I didn’t know him personally, I’ll miss him on here. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||
