Henry's next chapter in life led him to the apple of his eye, Karin, with whom he spent 32 years with before going home to the Lord to be with his tatay, nanay, Manong Jr and Manang Norma.
He spent his spare time at Alki Beach and Des Moines Marina squid fishing and found excitement in delivering buckets to his siblings, that would all enjoy kamut inapoy, kilawen pusit and kamatis, sibuyas and bagoong. And if they were feeling mabisin, perhaps a side of balatong.
Henry is survived by the love of his life, Karin, his amazing kids, Rona and Jason, his pride and joy grandbabies, Adam, Jr, Ayden, Mia, Tyson and Miles, his siblings Manong Romulo, Manong Rogelio, Ading Gloria, Ading Rebecca, and a myriad of nieces, nephews and gayums.
