In 1980 Henry retired and moved to the 108 Mile Ranch where he was able to devote most of his time to his art, producing beautiful landscape oil paintings, carving wildlife and building a large HO model railroad. Henry was predeceased by his wife of 40 years, Annie and his grandson Terry. He is survived by his daughter Carol (Jack) and twin sons Wilf (Geri) and Wes (Patty) as well as four grandchildren: Ryan, Tamara, Danae and Bree.
