My dear friend who’s only concern was “how are you doing” will be dearly missed!! Henry was a trusting friend, always there for me and my family, in good times and not so good times. That is who Henry was and what made him so special to all that knew and loved him. I will miss our conversations and the wonderful golf outings that we enjoyed together. I will always cherish our friendship and send loving prayers to thank you Henry for all that you were to me!! Rest in peace my friend.
Only good memories of Hank at Classical high. His sharp wit and humor will always be remembered. He played baseball and was on the track team. We also were part of the Stage Crew for the class play.
He will be missed.by all who knew him.
To the entire Lesburt family ,my deepest condolences for your loss.
May His memory be Eternal
My wife Pam and I have fond memories and a great appreciation for Henry and Jeannine sharing with us Red Sox games, plays, Symphony Hall, and a number of very enjoyable rounds of golf. That was many years ago, but the memories are still fresh. We are sorry for your loss, and wish you well.
Henry and I were buddies through junior and senior high (Lynn Classical). He was a wonderful friend and full of life. When Henry graduated from Classical, he and I were about the same height (5’5″).
When he approached me to say hello at our 25th reunion I absolutely could not place him! He had grown so tall. I think of Henry often and that memory will live on with me forever. He was just a great guy and I am truly sorry for your loss.
