A lifelong dairyman, he began working on his father’s dairy farm at a very early age. His family moved to Tomales, California when he was 12 years old, where he met Clara at school. By the time he was 16 years old, he proudly had his own dairy herd.

Later in life, Henry enjoyed traveling with his close friends but was at most happy at home on the ranch. He was in partnership with the dairy with son Steve until the end.
