June 15, 2016 at 9:55 pmOur hearts are saddened with tears through the loss of a family member and loved one . Henry was a kind man and no matter when ever he saw you he always had a nice compliment to say. He loved life and everyone that touched his life . He gave advice in a kind way with out judgement . He was so laid back he would remind me of farmer brown . He will be missed terribly . He was a great husband to Ann and a wonderful father to his children and a great grandfather . He would take his time and enjoy his grand children no matter if it were picking grape fruit our fishing or setting around and telling stories about the good old times. We thank God for this man to have crossed our paths in our life time . We will never forget our friend and the memories he gave to us to hold close in our hearts. May God be with the Wilson family during their time of pain and sorrow. We lost a loved one and God gained another guardian angel to watch over everyone Henry loved . Our prayers are with the family now and forever . You will be missed Henry ” Until we meet again our friend ‘ Our deepest sympathy Alvin and Pam Thacker
