He was Peace loving and would always seek peace with people irrespective of being the one offended. He would always extend the hand of reconciliation to diffuse conflicts wherever he went. We have lost a great man too early. Henry was full of life and had great plans ahead of him. He departed has created a vacuum that will be difficult to fill.
