Henry helped me get my start in radio at KDUS. He was both a mentor and friend. Sports was his passion but people were his life

It’s been a lifetime since I’ve seen you my old friend. Playing hockey in your backyard porch or monopoly inside the house. You, me, your brother David and Luciano. Rest in peace, God bless.

I was lucky enough to be one of the many who called him a friend. I had no idea he was ill and was shocked to hear of his passing.
He was a wonderful person who helped everyone in the workplace. He was an amazing friend who was incredibly supportive and jokingly threatened bodily harm to anyone who hurt you. As a co-worker he went above and beyond to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks so you could do your job. He could foresee problems and nipped them in the bud before something really went wrong. He always made us feel special, he always made us laugh and we will always miss him.
Henry and Lupe montano
