Henry deeply loved his wife and family, was always generous, and maintained a good sense of humor and positive attitude.

Ann and her family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff of Three Links Manor for the wonderful care extended to Henry during the last 10 years of his life and struggle with Parkinson's Disease. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Parkinson Society of BC at www.parkinson.bc.ca.
