No matter what Henry and I talked about, it always circled back to fits of laughter. I couldn’t go five minutes talking to him without laughing out loud, even when we spoke by phone, when meeting in person wasn’t possible. I know this is a phrase that gets kicked around a lot, but in this case, it’s the solid truth: Henry really was “one of the good guys.” I will miss him.

Kare, I’m so sorry for your loss. Henry was such an inspiration and teacher to me. If it was not for him who knows how I would be today.

Rest In Peace my friend. You will be missed.

Larissa,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kare,
I am so sorry to hear of Henry’s passing. You are in my thoughts and my prayers.

Henry was always a pleasure to talk with, and his plays were terrific. He was a good colleague at Salem State. My sympathies to his family and friends.

Henry was a great colleague and office mate. We had a lot of laughs sharing desks, classrooms and books. Henry was always trying to help me and often hilarity usually ensued! We volunteered together for the MA Poetry Festival and I truly admired him as a writer. Henry was good, through and through. I will miss him and so very sorry he has left us all brokenhearted.

God blesses people like Henry. The tributes all ring in the same tone to me. Here is the passing of a person we all really need right now. It just so happens that he was needed “elsewhere” with more importance, I guess? In these unimaginable times his humor and bright spirit could at least bring out a smile and a good laugh. To all his family and friends…God Bless.
