Suggested edit: AIRHEART Henry Tipton Airheart, a resident of Claremont since 1985, died at the Claremont Manor Care Center Sept. 28, 2001, following a long bout with cancer.

After World War II, he obtained a master's degree in Public Heath and worked in the Los Angeles City Health Department and subsequently Camarillo State Hospital. Cheerful, friendly, Henry was a proud Texan who was generous with help and advice to everyone he knew, and never went empty-handed anywhere. He is survived by his daughter Edra Lee Young and his grandson Timothy Howard Young, both of Claremont. Graveside services will be held at Oak Park Cemetery Wednesday, at 2:00 p.m. beside his wife of 57 years, Iretta Airheart, who died October 31, 1994. Todd Memorial is in charge of arrangements.
