My sincere sympathy to Opal on the loss of a truly wonderful man. I was so honoured to get to know both of you during the Ofton/Clarke trienium and our friendship continued past that. May all the wonderful memories and friends you have help get through this so very sad time, Fraternal love, Dorothy Powroz, NS & PEI
When my husband, Jimmy and met it had to be the best moment of our lives. He immediately showed his loving, caring and overly kindness to us. There isn't a person alive who didn't love him. He was the epidemy of what an Eastern Star and Masonic member should be like. He was the first person to congratulate me for receiving a Grand Representative appointment. We will truly miss him, but I hope he knows that we will take care of his Opal.

I will never, ever forget Bro. Henry and his love of music. He always treated everyone so kind and genuine. You always knew you were speaking with a man of God when you talked with Bro. Henry. He was one of the most fair & just man I've ever had the privilege of calling my friend. He invited me to play for his General Grand Chapter installation and that was the biggest invitation of my life. I pray Opal will find peace and strength in the coming days and months. Their love for each other was always so evident that it just made you smile in admiration.

Dear Martin Family,
Henry and I were classmates at Dreher High School. Not having kept up with him all these years, I was amazed at his many honors and accomplishments. Surely you will always have warm, loving thoughts of him.
With deepest sympathy to all of his family,

My wife, Ruthie, and I extend our deepest sympathy to Henry's wife, Opal, and his relatives. Henry and I were born on the same day in the same hospital in Columbia, SC, and were close friends all our lives. We always exchanged greetings on our birthdays and at Christmas. We stayed in touch with each other throughout the years. I will miss him very much and know that he is with God. Henry and I were members of the Dreher High School Band and were proud to be in this award-winning band. May he rest in peace and be reunited with his parents and sister in Heaven. Bud Tibshrany
Through our travels with Eastern Star throughout the United States, we grew to admire and hold dear the friendships we made with Opal and Henry. It was a highlight to see them in the different jurisdictions and we were honored to call them friends.i was especially honored when he reached out to me when I was so ill with the Covid virus.
We will miss this fine gentleman and pray his loving wife, Opal, will know though her faith, that he’s waiting for her at the gate.
In Sympathy,
D.Clayton and Fran Horne
