I've only known you for four years. But in that time period we became friends, we both have that dry sense of humour. I'll miss our political discussions and making fun of your German background and you of my Italian background. Cioa Henry
A sense of humour a skilled chef we will miss Henry
I am saddened to hear about Henry’s passing
he was a great person to work with, he taught me many things. The music he played in the kitchen was always apropos.
My sincere condolences to his family

Off to the kitchen in sky. ill raise a glass to his memory
We are very saddened and shocked to learn of Henry's passing, so close to Christmas when we are all meant to celebrate the season of 'tidings and joy'. My wife and I have known Henry since 1991, when he hired her to be part of his brigade at Tall Poppies Restaurant. Henry went on to different avenues in the industry, from respectable restaurants, private clubs and exclusive catering companies.
We worked together at the McGill Club back in 1995 and have run into each other in between jobs since.
The last time I saw him was when he was free lancing in 2012 and I hired him to fill the Christmas rush, where I was the Chef at Pepperberry Catering. Chef's are simple creatures of habit and we both enjoyed listening to good music on High End Stereo Equipment. He was always a Stones fan compared to my adoration of the Beatles. Henry always found flavor in the music he listened to and he was never afraid to tell you what he thought, about anything. We all knew he could be brutally honest! Unfortunately, we lost contact over the last few years and I wish now that we could have connected so much sooner.
We hope his family finds some peace in this difficult time and truly celebrate his life, for it was a life worth remembering.
