He had the opportunity to move with his wife and 2 young sons to Italy where they visited multiple countries and had the time of their lives. Eventually moving to Massachusetts, into his dream home for his family. He enjoyed watching multiple generations enjoy his oversized pool and laughing and cheering the splashes off the diving board. Henry was a champion golfer and had 5 carded holes in one. He also enjoyed tennis and croquet in his yard. Watching golf and football. Doing the twist to Chubby Checker to his children’s delight.

And a daughter, Allison Tucker Blood and husband Scott of Montgomery, MA. His grandchildren Bryan and Steven Tucker and Diana Blood, all of them were his pride and joy. Henry was a leader and deeply devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was an unstoppable force and never slowed down. His integrity, honesty, strength, love and zest for life has been instilled on all of us.
