Our deepest sympathy
I worked with Henry at the Ui for a number of years & Henry was always a lot of fun to be with. We will all miss him.
I’m glad I had the opportunity to know and work with you, we had a lot of laughs.
I worked at the Hamden/North Haven YMCA in the Child Care Office and knew Henry .Pops. well while he was driving a child care van there. He created many memories for all the child care staff and always had a big smile. I was so sorry to hear of his sudden death and know his family will miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
