I had the pleasure of working with Henry on a number of occasions at Schlumberger. Henry was a quiet person, but cheerful when conversing, and very knowledgeable about electronics. He was hard working, patient, diligent and thorough in his work. I imagine he had the uncommon virtue of frugality having seen him driving his well-worn brown car. No pretenses, all heart. I am truly sorry and saddened to learn of his passing, and extend my deepest condolences and sympathy to all his family and friends.

I had the privilege of working with “Mr. Henry” at Schlumberger in Sugarland. He investigated/analyzed failing electrical boards from the field. Henry was always kind and a pleasure to visit with. I was very fortunate to be a friend and one of a group of friends that met Henry for lunch a couple of times at Pappa’s Barbecue.
May God bless Henry. Rest In Peace my friend.

I have just learned of Henry's death and am so sorry for his family's loss. He was the best babysitter a little girl could hope for and a faithful friend for all of my life. I remember talking over the things that troubled or confused me--Henry always had time to listen and help make some sense of them. His love of God was contagious! I'm tempted to say that the world has lost a bright light, but I know that light has only moved to another window in the house of the Father he loved so well.

Jeannie, I can’t believe I am just finding out about Henry’ s passing after a year!!! I am very sorry for your loss and your children’s.
Think we may have met once at one of our Leon reunions. The last time I saw him was at Earnest’s funeral. I worked with Rosabelle , teaching at Holy Comforter and our son used to go to Jim’s “ snake camp”. So I was quite familiar with his family.
Henry was a Godly man and I know he’ll be greatly missed.
With love and sympathy,
June Clark Stivers🙏😇❤️
