Henry served honorably in the Merchant Marines during World War II in the South Pacific. He married his sweetheart Beth Lenore Yocom on October 27th 1945. They celebrated 68 years together and dedicated their lives to each other. Hank was a devoted husband and care giver to Beth until she passed away on April 17th, 2014. He was a humble, hard working, kind, caring, proud stubborn Dutchman. Never one to sit still, he loved his garden and heading to the hills to rock hound. Mostly self-taught, he never stopped trying to learn and grow.
Survived by children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, a brother and a sister. Henry worked for Gallagher Company and Kennecott Copper before his retirement.
