This man was there for us through many years . His kindness and creativity prevailed over man years . I was at his house just a few years ago. And I was surprised how connected he was to so many differnt people and groups . Will be missed

Henry was a loving, kind and hard working man.  I am honored to have received one of his unique digital artworks.  My sister, Catherine knew she was the luckiest woman when she met, fell in love with and married such a beautiful soul..  My condolences to Catherine, Adi, and Reena for their loss.  It is a loss to anyone who got to meet and know Henry.  I will truly miss him.  RIP, Henry.

Remarkably talented, intelligent, and friendly soul, who always wanted to 'do it right'. I'm glad we crossed our paths during Haggis gigs for Winnipeg Folklorama for a few years, and thank you for making my fiddle sounding nice with a rich tone.

Rest in peace my friend,

To Those closest to Henry, my heartfelt wish for comfort. Remembering Henry continues to bring his friends together as he has always had a knack for. Special man.

Henry was a great, loving, lovable man. My deepest condolences, Catherine.

Intelligent, creative, sensitive, caring, complicated. A good person. We miss him and will never forget him.  So sorry for your loss, Catherine.

Such a kind and knowledgeable man. So many lives were touched with Henry's beautiful spirit. Henry and Catherine are an inspiration and role models on  how to be in love and best friends. We'll all miss Henry greatly. ❤️❤️🐥

Sending sincere condolences to Catherine, Adi and Reena and their loved ones.

Henry was a warm and kind soul. Treasure the memories!

I expect this lovingly written obituary is only the tip of the full life Henry had.

Too many of us know too well that our love and respect for a person does not stop when death comes, it carries on with us that remain.  I won’t be forgetting Henry anytime soon. ❤️

I met Henry when I started working as the Stage Manager for the Pavilion Of Scotland. I asked if I could help him set up the sound system. He asked if I had any experience and I told him just enough to get me into trouble. He thought that was pretty funny and said sure let’s get at it.

For the next 4 years I helped Henry set up, tear down, reconfigure the stage and trouble shoot problems. Even with Henry’s extensive training, I still only learned enough to get me into trouble.

I have to say for those 4 years, working with Henry and The Flying Haggis Band were the best part of working the pavilion. We shared a common commitment to the sound quality and show presentation. But for the life of me, what he considered a nice volume level, I considered to be painfully loud.

Just one more thing he couldn’t train me on.

Henry, we were fortunate to have known you. In a rough and tumble world, you gave it everything and we're all the better off because of the likes of you and your eternal spirit. I am so thankful for having had the time to spend with you. My deepest condolences to Catherine, Adi and Reena.

Gord, the tribute was written and the pictures compiled by Sara,Henry's daughter.

We only spent a few brief moments with Henry, but always better for having done so!

Hugs to Catherine and his family and close friends.

A beautiful tribute to a life of goodness. So grateful for Henry’s gift to us all of what it means to be « neighbourly   ». - always  concerned for others, always present at our neighbourhood garden parties, always lending his expertise and equipment to run the sound system for concerts of the Northend Artists Collective, always an example of a loving, caring partner.  Catherine, may you find strength from such goodness and the deep love you shared.

I am very sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Thank you Catherine for the touching tribute.

I first introduced myself to Henry while employed at Garnet Amplifiers at the age of 19, I made my best pitch, and after another attempt or two, he relented and hired me on to Banquox Sound where I remained a member of the staff until the age of 33.

Henry was a friend and a mentor to me,  and a fair and generous employer. I will remember you with affection always, Henry.

Rest in peace, my friend.

It is difficult to put 60 years of friendship into a few words. I will miss you Henry💕

What a kind, generous, sweet Soul he was. We will miss him. Love the photos.

I feel so fortunate I was a friend of Henry…and that was because I met him through his deep friendship with my life partner Rubin Kantorovich. We so enjoyed our get togethers over the past 10 years and miss him so much…he gave so much to our community and was loved (is loved) by many. ❤️

Save us a seat Henry! Mood Jga Jga loves you dearly for your years of tireless and generous support over 50 years. Rest in power brother!😘

i mourn Henry’s passing. I liked it when he was here.

I have many wonderful memories of Henry, mostly his epic road trip to Flin Flon. Henry, Susan and I had a great time of reconnecting after 30 years. Warm soul, helpful man. Condolences to family and loved ones.

Catherine,

What a beautiful obituary to a remarkable man.  Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Worked with Henry on many occasions. Always enjoyed his presence and disposition. Henry was one of the best..!

Catherine…… I am so sorry to hear of your loves’s passing………stay strong….…like the person you are <3

I have many fond memories of Henry starting from our time at St. John's High School. He will be remembered and missed by many.
