I never actually met Henry, though we exchanged emails from time to time. I greatly admired his work, his personality and his spirit. We talked some about architecture, and he gave me some ideas and a drawing for an office renovation. He also sent me a breathtaking copy of a chapel plan he had drawn, for free and without my asking. I treasure it and show it to people now and then. I expect I'll frame it. He worked on a book and asked me for some anecdotes about friendship, which I wrote and sent to him. He knew so much. I recall one of our email conversations about the various kinds of the color blue that different peoples prefer in church decor. His Christmas cards were instructive and beautiful. I don't expect to meet a better person than Henry. Now and then I look at his portfolio on line, and I hope it isn't taken down soon.
