My uncle was smart and loved to travel, taking beautiful pictures of us and where he vacationed. I will always remember him taking our family pictures with the blue bulbs that would leave us kids running around seeing blue spots for hours. He gave me one of my favorite gifts, a bike radio. He loved to spoil us all. I will miss him but know that he is with his family in heaven. I love you Uncle Henry.
