Rest in Paradise dear brother, it's definitely not the same here without our big bro and his laughter, missing you dearly, don't think it actually sunk in yet because I often hear myself saying, "oh yeah, he's not with us anymore and I will never see or hear from him again". Until we meet in heaven bro, say hi to dad, kook n Mishoom for us, love you! - Posted by: Fran and Roland Burnard (Sister, brother in law) on: Jun 29, 2013

May I extend my deepest sympathy to you, Henry's family, and particularly to you, Jessica. We met Henry two years in a row when his Jessica was registering for our tryout camp for the MWJHL. He was such a fine man whom we all enjoyed talking to. We were very saddened to learn of his recent passing. Our prayers are with you - Posted by: Linda Benson (Registrar, MWJHL) on: Jun 25, 2013

I am so sorry for your loss. I got to know Chocky and some of his kids over my years in the Sagkeeng area. He was just one of those people who is so full of life. One year his daughter played hockey with mine. He made all those practices and games bearable with his great sense of humour and his kindness towards everyone. Rest in Peace and I am very sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Sharon Wood (friend) on: Jun 24, 2013
