There are many words one could use to describe Gene, but his family sees him as wise, valiant, chivalrous, loyal, studious, resourceful, eloquent, driven, comforting, present, Christ-centered, and thoughtful.
Gene was a strong man, a great father, a loving granddad, and a proud Grandolf the Great.
He is preceded in death by, his father, Paul Henry, mother, Pearl Henry, and daughter, Heather Ellen Henry Mai.
Gene is survived by, children, Edward Mai, Nathaniel Henry, and wife Paula, Shawna Henry, and Shannon Henry; grandchildren, James Mai, Christina Mai, and Sascha Mai, Elizabeth Henry McConnell and husband Houston, Alexander Henry and wife Samantha, and Reyna Henry; great-grandchildren, Owen, Maddox, and Isaac McConnell; cats, Tubey and Bulgey and Judith Henry, mother of his children.
