Henry married the love of his life, Emily Padron Perez, on June 8, 1963 in Port Lavaca, Texas. At the age of 20, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served three years. He then went to work as a Pipefitter for Alcoa and retired after 30 years. He was a man of faith which was instilled in him as a young boy by his mother. He was devoted to reciting the rosary daily. He was a faithful member of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church where he served as an usher for many years. He will always be remembered as the life of the party; never passing up the opportunity to celebrate with family and friends. He loved spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and we will greatly miss those special times. He loved dancing and traveling with his wife. He had a love for music, boxing, bowling and watching his favorite teams, the Houston Astros & Dallas Cowboys.
