In his early years, he worked alongside his father and brothers in the bush, and later was self-employed on his dairy farm. He was hired on at the Canadian National Railway in the late 1930s, where he was employed until retirement in 1976.
He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus, Fr. Florentine #9556, and Our Lady of Good Counsel Church. He served as a director of the Rainy River Community Credit Union for numerous years.
He had a passion for his grandchildren, hunting, farming, and hockey (the Montreal Canadiens). But Henry will be most remembered for his never-ending devotion and care to the love of his life, Helen.
