Henry served in the Navy during World War II; his older brother Bill also was in the service. His training took place in Great Lakes, Illinois; Tampa, Florida; and Norfolk, Virginia. His overseas service took him to Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Saipan, and Okinawa. After the war he was stationed in Japan with the Occupational Forces. He married to a woman named Dorothy, who was six years his junior. They were homebodies and continued to live in the Latrobe area until Henry's death. He was the first of his siblings to have passed away, and his death at the relatively young age of only sixty-six was an understandable shock for the family.
