Henry was a life-long farmer, growing a variety of fruits and vegetables to feed both his family and his community. He and Mary farmed together as a team for over 50 years. Henry had a special passion for growing trees with the various seeds he collected, and he was willing to share his knowledge with all that were interested. He had a deep love for auctions and had a zest for always finding the next treasure. Henry had a strong faith and we take comfort in knowing he has reunited with all those who have gone before him.
