Uncle Henry is an extraordinary man in so many ways. I knew him from Kolohe and was always touched by how he made everyone feel at home and loved, especially new people. His giant gentle hands owned the ukulele like it was a part of his body. His voice was the voice of an angel. He loved to sing through the break, just for the joy of singing a few favorite songs. It was worth coming to Kolohe just to hear him sing a song. He was very supportive of us all, and encouraged us to share our music with others. I loved hearing his stories of his youth. He usually closed the night by telling us how much he loved us, unless we were especially rascally. Uncle Henry, we love you too.
Love always,
Marti Carl
