He married Margaret Macey, 31 Oct 1953 and lived in West Vancouver until 2000 when they moved to Sidney on Vancouver Island so as to be closer to family.

His interests outside of the office included being a member of the Peninsula Emergency Program as he was a licenced amateur radio operator (VE7FYU), he was an avid lawn bowler with the Sidney Lawn Bowling Club and 5-pin bowler at Miracle Lanes in Sidney. He was also a big fan of the Big Band music.

He is predeceased by his wife Margaret, son Robert, daughter Angela, sister Mamie and his parents. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that consideration be given to donate to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Palliative Care Unit. There will be no service at Henry's request.
