Through Erich's cousin John Kuspert, a brother of Henry, we first met Henry and Dottie in person at a family reunion (American/German) in Italy in 2004. We were on the same "wavelength" from the beginning. We were very moved by his understanding, warm-hearted nature. We experienced him as a cosmopolitan, generous and humorous person. One impressive evening is still in our memory, when Henry explained to us the constellations of stars in the Italian sky. So we looked forward to seeing him again on subsequent visits and family reunions. In 2006, he and Dottie came with Chris and Johanna to Dabelow (Germany, Mecklenburg Lake District). Another reunion took place in the south of France in 2013. In 2012 we visited him and his family in Phoenix, with cousin John and Deeon and were privileged to experience his hospitality. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and appreciate him. "The most beautyful that a human being can leave behind is, that you smile, when you think of him" (Theodor Fontane, german poet). In this sense, we also smile when we think of him.

Hi everybody, this is Sebastian Maydl, 3rd son of Erich and Helma from Germany... I had the great pleasure to meet Henry 2006 in Dabelow, Germany, at a family meeting... I only had a few days with him at this place, but it was a real pleasure to meet him over there.. I wish there would have been more time to get to know him more ... And I really hope that we can continue the "Tradition "of family meetings across the oceans like we had.... Condolences and love from Germany, Sebastian& Susanne ( my wife)

We were so fortunate to have a friend like Hank. We considered Dottie and him to be part of our family. We enjoyed spending time together with him. He was a very special person. We enjoyed all of our travels to different parts of the world. Be at peace our dear friend. Until we meet again

My Dad, Henry... Today, I am remembering that my dad introduced me to travel. Short road trips to grandparents' house in Vernon or museums in Boston. Cross-country road trips from Providence to Phoenix and back, and back again, and once more. Along the way, he showed us National Parks, Presidential libraries, Washington D.C. at Christmastime, planetariums and so much more about life. I fondly recall the highlighted line on the AAA Trip Tik, the Rand McNally Road Atlas, S&H Green Stamps, souvenir shops, the 1971 Pontiac Catalina named Goldie and flash cards. Also, there was international travel to Australia, England, Ireland and Germany. It's no surprise that a significant portion of my career involved travel. I still love a good road trip and my dad.

My Dad, Henry, died the way he lived - peacefully and surrounded by his family. Henry was a devoted husband, loving father, and just an all-around good man. He meant what he said and he said what he meant. Consequently, he was a man of few words, but his presence could always be felt, especially in the corner stool at the kitchen counter or at the head of the dining room table. When he said "I do" to his wife (my Mom) in 1964, he meant it; he was devoted to her for 58 years. His face would light-up when she came into a room. I can still hear the enthusiasm in his voice, when he called out "Hey, Dottie", when he had an idea or something he wanted her to see. When he became a father of two children (my brother and me), he was committed to being a Dad. He loved us, taught us, and guided us. We were his gift to the world. He brought us places, made us things, and showed us how to see the world with our imaginations. He transformed giant cardboard boxes that once contained Honeywell computer equipment into houses and forts. He showed us the constellation Orion and the star that is the nose of his dog. He taught us how to play catch, play tennis, and ski. He went walking with us on countless Saturdays through Lincoln Woods Park, the Boston Museum of Science, and Sears. He received the Melvin Jones Fellow and the lifetime member award for his more than 50 years of dedicated humanitarian service in the Lions Club. If they had a "Most Dependable" award, my Dad would have received that, too. Every week, he would make his rounds to the local grocery stores to pick-up apple boxes; the Lions Club used them to box-up eye glasses that would be shipped to ophthalmologists for repairs. He never missed a White Cane Day, Books For First-Graders Day, or Food Basket Delivery Day. But I think my Dad felt most fulfilled when a young person received glasses or improved vision; that would bring tears to his eyes. My Dad, Henry, died the way he lived - peacefully and surrounded by his family. He was a good man and we were blessed to have known him and to have been loved by him.
