Henry M. Prom passed away Friday, Feb. 4, 2022, at the age of 89.

Henry was raised in Belgium, Wis., and attended St. Mary's Catholic School.

He served in the U.S. Army in France during the Korean War.

Following discharge, he was employed at Rice Pump and at Kiekaefer in Cedarburg.

Following his marriage on April 28, 1956 (66 years), he and Carol lived in Port Washington until moving to rural Random Lake in 1960.

In 1957, Henry was employed as a welder at the Gehl Co. until his retirement in 1994.

He was a member of the Hexel Bank Club. He was also a member of Melvin Wester Belgium Post 412 of the American Legion.

He enjoyed bowling with the seniors of Random Lake, Cambellsport and West Bend. He was very proud of his two 300 games.
