Here is your little namesake Henry Blake Hawkins! 

Christmas mornings were the best in your home❤

Beautiful couple ready for Jayme s wedding in San Francisco!

Missing you every day Dad.  Thanks for being the best husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend.   I wish I could see you today and talk with you.   We are all sad and miss you but happy you are free again. Love you, #4

Uncle Henry was such a loving man.  You could tell he and Aunt Dorothy were the loves of each other's lives, and from their union came wonderful children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.   He was friendly, and greeted everyone with the same mega-watt smile and fun personality.  I have many fond memories of time at their home, surrounded by loving family.  Uncle Henry, you lived a fabulous life!

Dad always loved to celebrate his birthdays. He looked forward to them more with each passing year.  I love you Dad. Happy birthday every day. Sending up root beer floats and milkshakes.  Be sure to share with God💕

My Dad was the greatest! He taught me how to live life to the fullest, love with all my might, help those who are less fortunate, cheer for the underdog and so much more...how to burn out in a car, pass on a 2 lane highway 🙈, drive a boat, waterski (even though he didn’t know how himself) appreciate all genres of music, enjoy a classic movie and a beautiful classic car, mow the lawn, change a tire, check the oil...the list goes on.   I loved dancing with my Dad, Maroon 5, UB40, anything with a good beat and he’d be ready even as his mind and body were failing him.....I especially loved watching him interact with his grandkids...his “audience “. His legacy is long and beautiful. A happy  and healthy family, what more can a man want? These were his riches. His prize, my Mom, cared for him like a 6th child all the way to his last breath...Rest in peach Dad, I love you to the moon and back. Love, Karen - #4, aka the “big twin”❤️

We were all so sad to hear about the loss of our dear Uncle Henry. He was a generous host to his extended family, allowing us to spend hours lounging about in his backyard pool or discussing the fate of the world at his kitchen table. He taught several generations of kids how to dive, demonstrating extreme patience in the process. He was always willing to pitch in and lend a hand, whether helping to plant a tree or fix a flat tire, and he always did it with his quintessential good humor. And he had this hearty, joyful laugh that never failed to bring a smile to my face, which I will miss so much. Sending love to the family.
