I'm not only proud to have called you family but greatful. You were one of the kindest souls that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you for every smile you gave to the people around you & every note that you played. I'll think of you everytime I bake cookies for Christmas. I've never left cookies for Santa but has a new tradition I will leave "s'mores" cookies out in your memory. Your fight may be over but a new journey has just begun. Till we meet again music man, till we meet again. In the mean time don't you dare trade that guitar in for a harp.

What can I say about you Henry that isn't evident by the outpour of love everyone has shown towards you. You were a special soul put in our lives. The love that you expressed towards me is something that can only be explained by knowing you and knowing the quality of a man that you were. I truly miss the talks, the jokes and the way we always snuck around trying to scare each other (hahaha) it brings a smile to my face still! Most of all Henry ill miss your sincerity your need to show your strength with a smile despite the battle you have been fighting. I hope the day I'm no longer here that I would've touch as many peoples live how you did mine. I pray your souls at rest and that your playing music for our lord and savior and just infecting the heavens with that Henry laugh.

Love you!

Dear Lauren and Family, on behalf of the Christopher Ranch family we extend our deepest sympathy for your loss. Henry was dear to our NJ Staff, and we have such fond memories of his spirit and his time with us as a co-worker. We and our families will always remember Henry playing his guitar at our Christmas parties for everyone, and what laughs we all had together during his time with us as a co-worker. We will mourn his loss together with you, but have hope that his passing takes his spirit to a better place free from his affliction, to wait for us with a hug and a laugh when we meet again. May he rest in peace, and may you heal in knowing that he was loved by so many who wanted the best for him. Anthony and NJ Staff

Henry, from the moment I met you, a friendship developed. John and I were invited to your home for a barbecue and you fed us raw steak, (I forgive you)! We later went inside and you picked up your guitar and were playing upon request. I asked you to play "Under the Boardwalk". I was so filled with admiration that I couldn't wait for you to play for us again. Of course, you obliged over and over and over again. (Just kidding, I loved it over and over and over again).
Might I remind you of our fishing excursions./ My favorite was when the 4 of us went the night of the high tide. All the people we met and all the stories that were told.
You were my friend,/ when I cried you cried with me. Your heart is pure and loving and you will never be forgotten.
The hardest part of friendship is saying Goodbye. Goodbye my dear friend, always in my heart.
Forever your friend,
Stacy

I'm heartbroken I thought you'd pull threw but you didn't, I know you are at peace and your memory will live in my heart eternally! I'll miss listening to you play the guitar and your singing & your silliness
You had a crazy sense of humor I guess we inherit that from you. Unfortunately we never did get to go on that camping trip, don't you worry through me you will be camping all over enjoying nature and all the beauty our world has to offer! You we're so full of life & always so happy I can't believe your gone,
Your memory will always live on : because of you I have such a love for nature & the outdoors, an appreciation for music and the guitar, and a sense of humor : whenever I hear the name Penelope I will always think of you! May you rest in eternal peace Heaven must know by now they've got a very unique Angel!
I Love you & will miss you always my big brother, Your little sister Ana

R.I.P. Henry I'll always miss you and remember how you used to brighten everyone's day with your beautiful music. And how you were always keeping busy either working, fishing, camping, going to the flea market, or even just doing some yard work or gardening around the house. You will always be in my heart and now you can rest without pain and join your father and brother, Ralph, in heaven. I'll see you up there one day and maybe you me and my dad can hang out together in paradise. I love you Henry and God bless you!

That was a beautiful tribute to your step-father Billy. He knew you loved him and accepted him just as he was. He cared greatly for your well being and always said he knew you were good inside. He prayed you would do good in the and I know you will make that happen. God bless you Billy.
