LUNOW - Henry passed away peacefully on June 17, 2000 at the Heather Pavilion, VGH. Henry was born in Poland in 1934. In 1948 the family immigrated to Canada, settling in North Burnaby.

Henry often thought of his homeland and on several occasions took Maria on trips to Germany and Poland to revisit the places of his youth and to spend time with his many relatives there. Henry and Maria enjoyed their retirement years by travelling throughout Canada and the U.S. in their Westfalia. For many years Henry enjoyed being a member of the Vancouver Golf Club. Henry was also a fine craftsman, and with his hands and his mind created many beautiful pieces of furniture for their home and for loved ones. Henry's love was for his family.
