Henry and I go back to 1979 when we worked at Principal (TBL) and played intermural basketball there and also at the YMCA. A fine athlete, great man, the greatest friend you and I can ever have. I will miss him and will always love him as a brother. I'm certain he's still happy!

With deepest sympathy to the Tucker Family. Henry was simply the kindness and most caring individual a person could ask for. I was privileged to work with him at UPS and there was never a day without laughs with Henry around. He will be greatly missed....until we meet again my friend!

I'm heartbroken to hear of his passing! He is such a wonderful person, super smart, ultra sweet with a huge heart of gold. At UPS, his customers adored him. I used to get compliments all the time from his customers where he went above and beyond to serve them - That was Henry!! His work was exceptional and his co-workers got the huge benefit from his positive, fun-filled energy every day! To say we loved working with Henry would be a huge understatement. Rest in peace sweet friend - We love and miss you dearly!

I am in the volleyball group at Mercy Hospital. Henry's passing was a shock for the whole group. He was such a nice, polite man with a great smile. I can still hear him saying things like "Ladies have a nice weekend". I will really miss the times we counted to three and all yelled "Henry" at the same time to get him out of the whirlpool because it was time to play volleyball. He would come in the pool shaking his head at us and laughing. Henry had lots of friends at the pool and was loved by many of us.

Henry was like a brother to me. Barb and Chris and I will miss him more than we can express. I'm sure he is in heaven with his mom laughing about the candy bars she hid and that he found and ate and then replaced the wrapper so it looked like it was untouched. Henry's passing is a devastating loss to me. He was a wonderful friend.
