Mr. Henry was born April 16, 1926 in Martin to Samuel and Stella (Young) Henry and had been a lifelong resident of the area.

Also surviving are five children, Robert (Kelly) Henry, Jr. of Allegan, Patricia D’Amore of Pine Lake, Kay Hatten of Allegan, Gary (Barb) Henry of Gobles and Diane (Denny) Talsma of Allegan; 12 grandchildren; many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren; a sister, Maxine Arehart of Plainwell; a brother, LaVerne “Ben”(Evelyn) Henry of Zeeland; many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by siblings, Stewart Henry, Wayne Henry, Janette VanDine, Dorothy Doxey and Hollis Henry; and two grandchildren, Tony and Lisa. Friends may meet with Bob’s family from 4 to 6 P.M. Wednesday at the Winkel Funeral Home, Otsego, where Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 A.M. Thursday, with Pastor Ray Brown officiating.
