June 1, 1927 – July 26, 2016
at the age of 89 years
Henry was born in Victoria and spent much of his youth there visiting his Icelandic grandparents. Most of his schooling was in Vancouver, mainly in Kitsilano.
He got is law degree at UBC in 1951 and practised in Vancouver until 1962 when he moved to Salmon Arm. Henry enjoyed small town life and was happy to have brought his wife, Marguerite and family, George, Chris, Frank and Laurie here. he was a good man. His affliction was a lengthy dementia.
There will not be a funeral service. A gathering commemorative of Henry’s life will be held sometime in the near future. There will be an announcement in this newspaper.
George and family,
My condolences in the passing of your dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Dementia is a tough gig for both the person and the family. It has been a very long time since our days in Salmon Arm–would love to connect again. Take care.

We all remember “Gus” & his side-kick, Alf Sleigh. Not only did Henry go to
KITS, but he was also in the Seaforths, and an avid skier. If I recall
correctly, he moved to
Salmon Arm in 1962 to avoid the atom bomb! Well, we all escaped that, Gus, thanks goodness ! R.I.P. Good Buddy, from your Classmates of ’46.

I am so sorry to hear of Henry’s passing. I was Henry’s last secretary at Sivertz, Brecknell & Keihlbauch before he retired and I only have good memories of that time.
