Henry’s Story

Henry was a Renaissance Man. He was a multi-faceted individual with many talents: from being a great athlete, competing in wrestling, baseball, basketball, and football, to enjoying performing in school theater performances. On both stages, his charismatic personality captivated not only those in the audiences, but his fellow performers as well.  

Those closest to Henry will tell you Henry was always an, “old soul.” At an early age, Henry’s grandpa, Docca, taught Henry about the stock market. Henry was appalled when he went to Kindergarten and discovered his classmates didn’t also “play the stock market.” He never ceased to make everyone smile and laugh. He was devoted to helping others and had many special friends at local nursing homes. Henry would brighten their days with flowers or simply with his ear-to-ear grin that caused his eyes to squint shut.

Henry knew no strangers. He was outgoing and had a love of life that was contagious to all that crossed his path. Henry’s incredible friends from all walks of life meant the world to him. He was a bright young man, a disciplined athlete and would offer help to anyone who needed it. His loyalty and compassion were shared effortlessly with all of his friends and family. 

The HAMO Foundation was created to continue Henry’s legacy.

Henry's helpers

Early in 2021, a group of classmates and friends created a way to honor Henry’s love for reading. Beginning with some scheduled events during the local farmers market, friends, teachers and classmates volunteered to hold a read aloud time where anyone was welcome to sit in and listen to some old and new favorite children’s books.
