I have known Henry ever since I joined working with the PeopleSoft team in 2014. He was always very helpful and kind to me. He was such a happy person.
Even when he was not feeling well he was always very considerate of others feelings.
One thing I knew about him is that he loved his family and the outdoors, especially playing Golf.
If he knew it was going to be a sunny weekend he was all ready to play Golf.
He would say don’t call me if there is a ticket, I will be too busy playing Golf!
Every summer he looked forward to taking his family in the RV to New York to watch the US Open or to meet family, we all loved hearing about his trips.
We will all miss him at work greatly.
He was such a good person and a friend.

I worked with Henry at Parkland since 1999. We know Henry was smart, thoughtful, generous, and kind. He was a true gentleman and an exemplary family man. He had an amazing personality and sense of humor.
As a co-worker he went out of his way to help others. Whenever I stayed late without fail, he would ask, "do you need help before I leave". If I said "no", and he would respond, "good because I've already shutdown my computer".
I knew he would have booted that computer and stayed had I asked.
I miss chatting with him through our shared cubicle wall. He made me laugh every day. I always went to him for advice whether it was about work or life. He always seemed to have the best answer.
He was so much more than a co-worker. He was a mentor and dear friend. I will never forget him. He will always be in my heart.

I have worked with Henry at Parkland since 1998. Henry is our go-to person for any issues we faced either personal or work related. He was very generous, intelligent, kind, caring and thoughtful;
He was not just a co-worker for me. He was my mentor and my close friend. I will never forget him. He will be in our hearts always.

Henry was one of the first people to welcome me to Parkland when I started April 2007. He and Marvin Timmons offered to take me to lunch where they filled me in on who’s who at Parkland. We instantly became friends. Although we did not work on the same team somehow every question I needed answered always ended up in his ear and 99% of the time he answered the question without any hesitations.
There was never a time when he didn’t help others, whether it was a kid’s fundraiser or a trip to the store to pick up a birthday or sympathy card. But my all-time favorite was when he would pick up the tab at lunch time for the group. These are examples of the joy he would bring to the workplace.
Henry was my rock at Parkland. His humor, his wisdom and ability to get to the core of the matter was priceless. He was an exceptional colleague and personal friend that I will truly miss.
