I can't remember a time being with Uncle Henry when he didn't tell me he loved me. We didn't get to see each other very often with our busy schedules and lives, but whenever we did see each other it was like picking up where we left off. The love he had for Aunt Linda is truly inspiring. My prayers are with Aunt Linda, Jeff, Shane & Tonya and their families as they move on without Uncle Henry. But we do have the blessed hope that we will surely see him again one day. Much love to you all! Jon Trautman & Family

Uncle Henry may have been the baby of the family but you would never know it. He worked hard & served our country like his brothers. His love of God & family was important. Aunt Linda & Uncle Henry lived the true love story. You could see it in their eyes & actions. He is loved and missed by so many. My heart goes out to the family for their loss, but I know we will see him again on the other side. Keep that campfire burning Uncle Henry!

I will miss you Uncle Henry all the fun we had during the year's at Grandma Clips and all the Clippinger & Masten Family Reunions with all my cousins Aunt's and Uncle's and our Grandparents. I will always remember when you would come out to our home on 24th street in Mattawan and go hunting with my Dad, Uncle Frank, Uncle Pat and Gino, I wasn't old enough yet to go hunting but I always was excited to see you, I will miss all those Christmases years ago when I was a young boy you use to stay with us a few day's when you'd come home during from the Army on leave. Many fun memories of fishing with you at Three Mile Lake with your brother and my Mama Dad and us five kids and many cousins. Memories of you at Aunt Renee's funeral when you talked to me about your Uniform and I was the keeper of your letters from Veitnam to Mama and us kid's, you cried when I gave you back your DogTags and those letters and other military items I had of yours for over 30 years, my heart was filled with joy to bring all that back to you Uncle Henry. I will miss your handshakes and hard hugs and a kiss on my check your hand on my face and those words "I love you nephew"... I pray that God's comfort peace mercy grace and Loving Holy Spirit will bring comfort to you Aunt Linda, Jeff, Shane & Tonya each day and may God's blessings and healing gentle Hand's bring you strength and courage each day to come, I pray that God's Will will be done, I pray this in Jesus Christ name Amen Amen... I Love you Aunt Linda and my cousins Tonya, Shane and Jeff and your families, you'll will continue to be in my prayers until the day God takes me home. Jesus Christ Love's you all... Thank you for sharing Uncle Henry with me over the year's, I Love you Aunt Linda from your nephew Dustin and family.
