Words can’t describe the wonderful love we got to experience from Henry and his wife every time we walked into church with our little family. Henry was so welcoming to us and someone we looked forward to seeing each weekend we came to church. We send our condolences to Gloria and his family, may the Lord comfort you all at this time and open up all the wonderful memories Henry has made with each one of you. 

This has been so difficult for me Henry and Gloria have been such a blessing since I first them. 
Henry had such a gentle spirit and he could be so funny yet so encouraging.
When my son was very ill I would cling to them in spirit. Both as a team would call or email asking about my son’s health . 
He never said anything mean about anyone he would say that we should pray.
As much as my heart aches right now I am so happy that we know where he’s at!
Praying for his loved ones

Although we did not know Henry & Gloria for very long it was apparent they love the Lord. Their adoration for each other and their family is the cornerstone of their joy in life. Gloria I look  forward to the time we can all be together with the Lord, for know your in our constant prayers if you need anything we are here for you. Frank & Cathy Martinez 

My husband and I met Henry and Gloria at Bible study what a beautiful couple. Henry always 
was kind and a great smile he always shared about positive things in his life not his struggles he truly walked with God. My prayers go out to Gloria and her family.

He was a Man of Great faith and Loved his children and grandchildren. I will miss his sweet spirit . He was very proud of his children, and shared this with me a few years ago a Monica's home.
We talked about faith and I will never forget the conversation. He blessed us all so much .

Love always ,

Adrienne and Lydia Rodriguez

Henry - what an amazing man that served our lord with everything he had up until his last breathe! A true inspiration of what a man of god looks like! My heart aches for Gloria and the Family but I know 100% that he is with our lord - no more pain - no more suffering and he is in fact smiling down on all of us knowing he will see us all again! We love you Henry and you will be missed by many! 

For so many years, Henry and Gloria have inspired me by their love for God, their love for each other and for whomever they came in contact with. I was so honored to serve with them in several ministries at Faith Church where there were outstanding leaders. Their joy and youthful spirit brightened every room they walked into. 
One the many things I admired about Henry was his humility. I remember him telling me about the day he was cutting his lawn and someone walked up and asked how much he charged to cut grass. Instead of responding with pride or offense, he simply smiled and responded graciously. I can only hope that I can respond with such character when similar situations arise. 
Gloria, I love you and have not stopped praying for you.  The two of you had a love that was so special. To the family- my thoughts and prayers are with you. What an incredible legacy and heritage to have! May we all walk in the wonderful example Henry set for us!

This picture is from the Forever Young small group that Henry and Gloria led at Faith Church.

It was a great joy over the years serving with you in various church ministries,  You always displayed a wonderful smile, a warm greeting and a willingness to lend a hand. We’ll meet again, Henry. 

I met Henry at the Gym. Such a nice and friendly man! He could Kick boxing better than anyone!
Henry, Gloria and I became  good friends.It won't be easy, not to see this wonderful couple together anymore!
Good bye my friend.

Henry has been part of my life for over 17 years, serving as greeter.  
He was an inspiration to us all, always greeting you with a warm smile, a hand shake and a needed prayer. Blessings each person who walked into his life. Henry was an example of a soldier of God, always showing love in so many ways. He loved his wife Gloria unconditionally, loved his children with all his heart, and his grandchildren where his pride and joy.
He honored God with the life he lived. He was a true soldier in God’s army, for his country, he gave his best, and we thank him for his sacrifice. 
He meant so much  too so many, how he lived will be felt by many. 
God called him home to serve in his heavenly army and continue in the field of promise.
In closing I can only say how blessed I was in knowing him, and having him touch my life.
We salute his life and honor him, in memories great and small.
Till we meet again my friend,.

We love our morning laughs together before service.
Till we meet again dear friend.
God Blessed you.

Henry and Gloria are part of our Faith Family and a true inspiration for us!  Henry has been a role model for my husband and I of someone who cherished his family!  He was a true example of the redemptive love of Jesus!  We adored him and are truly saddened that we won’t be able to hear his words of wisdom or his funny grocery stories!  Our family is thankful to have had Henry in our lives and are holding on to Gods promise that we will see each other again!  

Henry is a dear, dear friend of my wife and I. Henry is an inspiration to me, a man with integrity, discipline, and strong character. I will miss him on earth deeply. I will not refer to him in the past because he has eternal life in Christ. I Love Henry very much and miss him. I look Ford to seeing him again. “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:13-14‬ ‭NIV‬‬


A great guy wonderful father to both his kids and mine I will miss him, rest in peace my friend 

Henry was a dear friend. First meeting him thru Mike and Kristen's wedding celebration, than seeing  Henry and Gloria greeting at church always smiling always happy. My favorite time was seeing him at home depot. He always had great projects. I loved spending time with him discussing his projects and always great stories about the grandkids.  God bless and keep you my friend.

Love my Uncle. My Uncle always showed love, spirit and happiness whenever I saw him. Always joyful and full of life. Wonderful Father who raised beautiful children, my cousins, who he loved dearly and expressed that love throughout the family. His jovial laughter and the way he lived his life is a true inspiration to God and his family. He will he missed dearly and I will always love my Uncle Henry. Fly amongst the Angels Uncle , you deserve it. Love you. 

Henry was the best neighbor we have ever had!  Every time he was out washing the cars I would ask him to do mine and he would just laugh at the suggestion!  His smile was infectious and I shall miss seeing him out in his yard each day.  Prayers to all of you.
