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.
