Dearest Iris,
We fondly remember Henry as one of the nicest people in the American Bridge Association. Although he didn't come out much these past years he will always be remembered as a loyal supporter of the ABA. We will also miss seeing the two of you in Atlantic City.
Our deepest sympathy to you and the family

Page and Marcus

Mom, Iris, Oliver and Jane:
Henry was such a kind, gentle and special man to me. One of my very special memories of him is a picture with Marcus when he was just 7 months old. It was their first visit together and the grins on both their faces is more precious than words.
There hasn't been a moment in these past 24+ hours that I haven't thought about you all and how heavy your hearts are during this time. Keep all the memories close to you as we will. We love you and miss you dearly during this time.
