Henry was born at home on September 30, 1927 in Alief to Henry and Evelyn Nemec. He graduated from Missouri City High School and attended Texas A&M University. After serving his country in the US Army in World War II and the US Air Force in Korea he married Billie Momeny and settled in Alief where he was Post Master and later Business Manager / Tax Assessor of Alief Independent School District.
