Henry L. Emerson

A time to be born. Henry Lee Emerson was born in Dallas Texas on September 6, 1937 to Charlie and Mae Ella Thompson. Henry accepted Christ at an early age. In 1956 Henry enlisted in the US Marine Corp. where he served for 3 years.

He resided in Dallas until 1965 when he and his family moved to Los Angeles, CA.

Those of you who knew Henry knew that he had an outgoing personality and always made you laugh. Usually starting a conversation with his famous “You might not like what Im about to say.” Because we all know if nothing else.

Henry was always an honest and forward man. While at home resting on June 9, 2006 at 12:25pm the lord saw fit to call Henry home to his heavenly mansion.
