Henry retired from VDOT as a state highway inspector. He spoke proudly about his bridge and road projects throughout the region.

He was a Veteran of the USAF and he was a member of the Masons for over sixty years. He was generous with his gifts to his family and the many charities and missions that he supported. Henry lived in modest surroundings, but he lived life abundantly as long as his health permitted.
