Greg was a good hearted stand up guy. I loved and looked up to him my whole life. I’m happy and extremely proud to call him my brother. I will forever cherish the time I shared with him, and the memories he imprinted on my heart and soul. My heart will never be whole again as he was serious part of it. I love Greg.
I only worked with Greg (driving bus) for a very short time. He immediately felt like a close friend. Extremely easy to talk to, always happy & funny. Once I was going to my car after work & thought I was only one there. Greg snuck up & grabbed my lower leg scaring me. He laughed hard as I uneffectively punched his arm. Cried when I heard & will miss not being able to get to know him. So sorry to all his family
Rest in peace my brother and may god welcome you into his kingdom.
Greg was a wonderful man/father. He loved his kids more than anything in life. Even though we were divorced he still came to my house and did the things a husband would do. Mowed my yard and shovel any driveway and walk, cook and clean my house and always made sure I had enough air in my tires to hit the highway. I will miss Greg so much. He could make a person laugh at his jokes. RIP my friend.
Love Shelly Henry
Rest in Peace Henry; you will be truly missed and never forgotten! That laugh, that smile, one of a kind
Love Miss Jackson
REST IN PEACE:I will miss you so much you were a great cook and person in general you taught me so much stuff I am so happy to be one of your sons. I pray that god will let you in his kingdom as well RIP to Larry Gregory Henry Jr. You were the best father I could ask for.
