Henry and I were together for 19 of my 21 months in the army including 13 months in Vietnam. He and I became good friends when we found out our homes were 50 miles apart. 
We became best friends and traveled a lot together. In the 47 years  since then I have not found a better friend. To say that I will miss Henry would be an understatement but I will always have some wonderful memories of the times we spent together.
Henry was a Friend, patriot, and probably the most organized person I have ever known.
Rest in peace, my friend.

We mourn the passing of our kind, decent, caring brother, Henry.  May he rest in peace. Richard and Linda Ward

To all the loved ones of Henry, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you go thru these most difficult moments.  May God comfort you in your times of grief, and give you strength to endure. I'm sure Henry is resting in peace with our Lord, but Barium folks will surely miss him.

Great family man, leader, brother already very much missed. Rest in peace Henry.

Very sorry to hear of Henry's passing.   He served others well, including his family and our Barium family.  He will not be forgotten.  We wish Carol, Crystal, and Rita peace at this time.  Prayers are being offered.  We appreciate his family letting those of us from Barium have so much of his time.  We were blessed.

My sympathy to all of Henry's family and friends.  His leadership and presence at Barium Speings Alumni functions will be greatly missed.  We know that he is now at the great "Homecoming" in heaven.  Blessings and peace to you all.

We all will miss our Barium brother, Henry. He was a patriot and served his country proudly. His legacy will be his tireless work for the Alumni Association and his willingness to do whatever was necessary to keep the association viable.  There are many cherished memories of childhood days at Barium.  May he rest in peace.

Carol, Crystal, Rita and family. Henry leaves many fond memories for you and for all of us to treasure. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you.

Henry was a great friend to all that he ever met, I am proud to say that I knew Henry, And served in the 67th.with him. Henry will be Missed but  NEVER  FORGOTTEN

 Carol, my prayers go out for you,family, it is a sad empty loss when this happens to your life time partner,husband,and Dad. He is with our Lord Jesus Christ where there is no pain. Henry helped me when I was President of BSAA, a younger Barium brother and now he is a servant of God.  God bless you,Carol and your family.   Ronnie Hudgins

Carol,Crystal,Rita and family:  So sorry to hear of Henry's passing.  We will all miss him; he had such a presence in our Barium lives.  Know that I am thinking of you and send my love.

I viewed Henry as a friend and more importantly, a Barium brother. He will be missed by all who knew him. May his family find peace during this time of bereavement.

 I for one will miss talking with Henry, he always had a kind word for everyone, was always willing to help someone out. I served with the 67 Eng. Co. with Henry From Aug. 1966 to Jan 1968. May he rest in peace.

Aunt Carol and Crystal,

I wish I could be there for you Rita and my mom. I always looked up to Uncle Henry as a hero. He served his county, he loved you and Crystal with all his heart, he always had a big warm smile, hugs and incouragement for all of us. He will be missed and I count myself blessed to have had him in my life.  My love and prayers. Vickie Staton-Richie and family.

Carol and Crystal, when I think about Henry, I think about how kind he has always been to me, and to my children. He was one of the most respectful, honest men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.  I feel blessed to have known him.

Henry and I go back many years at Barium Springs.  He along with Lacy Lentz, Done Frazier and may others were like bothers.  I was honored to have him as a friend and will miss his presence in this life.  Jim White class of 58

Henry Harris' name was on all of my Army orders from our first day until 10/1/1967, when I transferred from the 67th Engineers to another unit in Vietnam. We were continuously assigned to the same training and duty units for the first 82% of the time I was in the Army, and Henry was in love with his wife, missed her and talked about her often. Pop (Nickname: he was already so accomplished: 136 days older than me, college grad, and married.) always said that he was going back to work at IBM. When I returned to finish college in Raleigh, IBM was there so I found Henry, and met his Carol, in 1968. Then came their Crystal, whom I saw just before leaving Raleigh in summer of 1970. Jump forward: 2009, Henry found me. Crystal had grown up, and he had two favorite women he talked about. In May, 2013, Henry told me he was not cured as I had assumed earlier, so I've been praying for him since, for health, and that his time with his wife and daughter would be the best of their life together. Whenever I think of Henry long ago, I remember us (We were 22 years old: Remembering young makes you feel young.) marching somewhere in training mode, talking about what was back in NC for us, and how glad we'd be to get this Army stuff behind us and return the real world, which meant Carol for him. I'll miss Pop, but I know where he is and am glad to know that eventually, I'll see him again…young…forever. 
Charles L. Dickson, 67th Engr. DT

Carol and Crystal, I am sorry for your loss.  Henry was a kind person and he touched many lives especially during his long career with IBM.  He loved his family so much and I am sure you have wonderful memories which is what we hold on to at a time like this.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.
