I knew Henry from TCR. He was one of tennis playing guys that was always around to fill in in a game. He was very sharp and had a great sense of humor—one of my favorite people!!! My condolences to the family.

I was very sorry to hear of Henry’s passing and my condolences to all of his family and friends. When my JCC exercise schedule overlapped with Henry’s, it was always a pleasure to have a conversation with him and to provide him with a ride home when he needed one. May his memory be for a blessing. Lou Spiro
