Heartbroken at Henry’s passing. My deepest sympathy to twin Mary, her husband Michael, his niece Elaine and nephew Keith. Henry, Mary and I went back a long way to early childhood. The birthday parties, the dressing up and acting out what we saw in the cinema. His humour and sense of fun always left you feeling lighter. He was so talented in many areas but above all Henry was so lovable, and that’s why his passing is so hard. I asked him after the launch of his photography book if he realized how much he was loved and he said he didn’t. I have my lovely memories and the most beautiful one is knowing Henry died knowing how much he was loved. Rest in peace my old friend, until we meet again.
