Don Henry was a friend and fellow Air Force member. I worked with him on many operational missions and he was always someone who gave his all to whatever project he worked. He will be sorely missed and may God comfort his family and loved ones during this difficult time .

I got to know Don over the last few years and always looked forward to seeing him and hoping he would tell me a story. He was a very easy guy to look up too. Gonna miss seeing him and talking to him. He had all the good traits in a person. Prayers to his family and friends.

Don was my best friend and the closest thing to a Brother that I ever had. We served in the Air Force at several different locations throughout our military careers. Don was epitome of a gentleman, a patriot and a Man of God. He dearly loved his lovely wife, his children and his grandchildren. His passing will leave a huge hole in my life and I will cherish my memories of him and our friendship forever. Until we meet again, Brother! I love you.
