Henry was a son of a railroader and his family lived in many southern Alberta locations including Woodhouse, Granum, Lundbreck, Orion and Foremost before settling in Lethbridge. Henry was a railroader also, starting with Canadian Pacific Railway at an early age. He served in WWII from 1941 to 1945 in England, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium, being assigned to the 69th Canadian Transport Co. as a dispatch rider and tank transport driver. Following the war, he returned to Lethbridge and resumed his railroading career, ending his work life as Bridge and Building Master for the Calgary and Edmonton divisions. Henry married Jean Turnbull in 1971 and they resided in Lethbridge except for a six year transfer to Calgary. He took an early retirement in 1970 and returned to Lethbridge. Henry enjoyed his hobbies of fishing, hiking, woodworking, rock hunting, lapidary work, gardening and carpentry. He was an excellent craftsman in whatever he tackled and never bought anything he could make himself. Some of Henry’s fondest memories were fishing and hunting expeditions with his father and brothers, and travels with his family. Henry was a member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and the Rockhounds Association.
