Dear Rosalie and Michael,
Words cannot express our tremendous sorrow. Our memories will always be of Henry’s delightful smile, soft gentle manner, his joyfulness for holidays, especially the wonderful Halloween parties at The Bank’s House. We will miss seeing him out raking and working in the yard. It was always a pleasure to see the immense love he had for his wife and son. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your entire family. Keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers. ~~The Cain Family~~
My condolences to you and your family. May God bless you at this time and know that Henry is at peace.

Dear Banks Family,
I grew up playing with Henry a long long time ago. My dad Frank and his dad Moe used to play cards and us kids would play all night long! I remember all of us running around their house while Dad, Moe, and Babe played cards…and Moe’s old black Cadillac in the driveway.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Henry was one of my best friends as a little boy.
Sincerely,
Mark Rubino
