Henry R. Petges passed away on Friday, March 15, 2019. "Hank" was born in Villa Park, Illinois on January 31, 1943. He served Honorably with the United States Army. Most recently he worked for Cobb's Plumbing in Mansfield, Texas.
Hank could be hard-headed, but was always very loving to his partner, Doris, and kind to her three daughters. He and Doris met in July 1997 and they celebrated every summer to remember how and where they met. Hank never met a stranger, becoming friends instantly with those he met. He preferred to stay home and just enjoy Doris' company. Whenever anyone left the house, he would yell "be careful" every single time.
A visitation for Henry will be held Tuesday, April 2, 2019 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Grand Prairie Funeral Home, 733 Dalworth Street, Grand Prairie, TX 75050.
A funeral service will occur Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at 10:30 AM at Grand Prairie Funeral Home Chapel.
Hank will be laid to rest in a committal service Wednesday, April 3, 2019 at 12:30 PM at the Dallas Fort-Worth Veterans National Cemetery, 2000 Mountain Creek Parkway, Dallas, TX 75211. His service to his country will be honored.
