Jeff Whitfield Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) Jerry was one of the first people I met at a regional. Always a straight shooter with a good sense of humor (and an Emerson aficianado), he loved restored fans and preferred polished brass over patina. He liked them original, too, as long as they were clean. He shared once how he ran a plant (in the metal industry space) and oversaw its employees.

Stan Adams Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I'm going to miss you my friend! Jerry was one of a kind & when he & his sidekick Tom Hammonds got together, it was time for the Tom & Jerry show! The fan world lost a wonderful member & I consider myself blessed to call him my friend. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Weedman Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Sending my condolences. May he rest in peace. I bought an early Emerson from Jim Henderson at Fan Fair, and he told me it had belonged to Jerry Henry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Henry Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Thank you, Scott, for posting about Jerry's passing for me. My heart is broken and I cannot imagine life without him. He truly loved his fan family and the relationships that he made through his involvement with the fan club. Up until the last month, Jerry continued to go to his fanitorium and tinker with one of his fans. He surprised me with a beautiful fan that Eddie Franks restored for him just a couple of weeks before his passing. To all his fan friends, please keep me in your prayers in the difficult days ahead.

Geoff Dunaway Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 So so sorry to learn of your loss. You R in our prayers here in upper Arkansas. Glad I got to visit the fanatorium in it's heyday and I surely remember the Tom & Jerry show from years back which could spontaneously erupt at just about any fan gathering they were both attending. God Bless you as you journey forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McComas Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 So sad to hear. Jerry was quite a unique and humorous individual. He was a very nice man. When Jerry and Tom Hammond and Steve Sherwood and Jeter would get together, there would be funny stories flying! He will be greatly missed.
