Funeral services will be 2:00 pm, Monday, October 18, 2010 at Hamilton’s Altoona. Visitation will be two hours prior to the service at the funeral home beginning at 12:00 pm.
Henry spent 4 years in the U.S. Air Force prior to his 31 year career with NCR Corporation. After his early retirement, he had the opportunity to work for Polaroid & Digimarc companies for 12 years until his disease progressed to the point where he was no longer able.

Henry is survived by Betty, his loving wife of 50 years; his sons, Dave Chandler with partner Stephen Rector and Edward Chandler with wife Debbie; his daughters, Kathy Webb with husband Todd and Amy Swieter with husband Isaac; his grandsons, Joe, Brett and Ryan Chandler and Michael and Daniel Webb; his “favorite” granddaughter, Dawn Webb and his great granddaughter, Natalie Mae Seher; his brothers, Gary, Keith, Chuck and Dean; his sisters, Arlene Weaver, Janice McCullough, Nancy Stevens, and Linda Brown.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Lenna; his brothers, Connie and Arthur, Jr; and his sisters, Minnie Allen and Thelma Middleton.
