Henry was predeceased by his parents, Kristjan and Agusta; brothers, Tommy, Einar, and Victor. Dad was born in Winnipeg, MB on September 14, 1922 and raised in Baldur, MB. He moved back to Winnipeg and after completing a course in dairying at the University of Manitoba he began his career at Dutch Maid Ice Cream, where he worked for many years. Dad was active in the Masonic Lodge, Jobs Daughters, DeMolay and the Order of the Eastern Star. Mom and Dad moved to Newfoundland for several years where he enjoyed working with family in the construction business until they returned to Winnipeg. Dad was an avid gardener and spent many hours attending his flowers and feeding the birds, with his dog Amber at his side. The family would like to acknowledge the excellent care and compassion provided by Dr. Salem, the Emergency department and Unit 5 staff at the Victoria General Hospital. Cremation has taken place and a family graveside service to take place at later date.
