Dad and I loved playing Bridge with Henry and Sonya and learned so much from them. Mr. Henry helped so many people to have homes, transportation, and other things but was humble about it. He encouraged folks to attend church. The greatest thing I can say about him is that he loved his wife and the Lord….and the country that he proudly served.
