I met Henry when we joined the University of Windsor in 1984. Henry was a most generous and kind person. He and his family helped us out in all possible ways. I will always remember Henry with his big smile and his warm nature.

Eileen, Clive and family. It was with great sadness that I learned of Henry's passing. I will remember Henry for his kindeness to my family when we first arrived in Canada, and his kindeness to faculty, staff and students while he was a professor at the University of Windsor. His warm sense of humour helped create a a welcoming environment in the School of Computer Science.

To Eileen, Clive and family we send our deepest condolences over your loss. Henry was so important to Bob in his early years as a faculty member at UWindsor, as a mentor and a friend. A wonderful intellect, caring teacher and so filled with humour and joy of Life. We enjoyed seeing both Henry and Eileen at various art displays and functions for many years after retirement. Henry will always have a place in our hearts and minds.
Sincerely, Bob Kent and Sue Breeze (Windsor)
