Henry died peacefully on July 20, 2020. He was devoted to Vera (nee Shupenia), his wife of 61 years. He was a loving father to Karen Baudais (Brett), Candace Matviw (Cory) and Heather Lutzko (Greg).

They all knew Grandpa’s favorite food group was ice cream! Henry was born and raised on the family farm near Mundare, Alberta. He and Vera raised their children in Calgary. Other than spending time travelling with Vera and visiting with his immediate and extended family, Henry loved watching baseball and hockey. He played badminton and table tennis for many years. Henry exemplified compassion, kindness and generosity throughout his life. He is survived by his sister Nadia Maciuk of Alberta as well as many nieces and nephews.
