Henry’s family immigrated to Canada in 1925, settling in Saskatchewan. In 1929, they moved to Pitt Meadows, B.C., where Henry lived until WWII. Henry was a conscientious objector. Excelling in math and machinery, he established Peters Well Drilling, beginning in 1956, while running a dairy farm for 15 years. A generous man of honour, integrity and humility, Henry was a devoted husband and father. Faith and family were paramount. In retirement, Henry and Mandy enjoyed travelling. He joined the Abbotsford Male Choir in his late 80s.
