Henry was a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he proudly served his country and earned a number of medals, including the Bronze Star.  After retiring from the Air Force in 1973, he continued his federal career as a Management Analyst until his retirement in 1991. Henry believed in giving to others and became a dedicated volunteer over the years.

He spent many hours with the Masons, Jaycees, Rotary Club, LULAC, Boy Scouts, Lions Club and helped active military and veteran’s as a pharmacy tech volunteer at Randolph AFB. Two of his favorite charitable organizations are Habitat for Humanity, which builds homes for those in need and San Antonio Airport Ambassadors, which provides friendly customer service to airport passengers and helps greet the many visitors to the City of San Antonio.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to Habitat for Humanity or your favorite charitable organization or church.
