I was so sorry to learn of Henri's passing. Just reading the obituary brought back memories of all the good times that we have shared together. Henri was always happy and willing to help with any problems.He will be greatly missed and never forgotten . Henri was a good man with a kind heart- a proud husband, father, grandfather and brother. His family was very special and he cared deeply about each one. He shared wonderful stories about their many accomplishments with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye My deepest sympathies, Agathe, to you and to your entire family. Rest in peace, Henri - Posted by: Gloria Emslie (Friend and neighbour) on: Jan 04, 2017
