Henry was born in 1952 the son of the late Henry J., Sr. and Anne P. Carinci. He was a devoted family man and a longtime volunteer for youth sports and activities. He graduated from Manhattan College with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and from Canisius College with a Master of Business Administration.

He also worked for the Catalyst Group, Arco Chemical Company (Lyondell Chemical), Penn Specialty Chemicals, Inc., and as an independent consultant.

Henry was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church. There he spent many years doing what he enjoyed most – coaching soccer, girls’ basketball, and softball. Always enthusiastic to volunteer his expertise to improve youth opportunities and spend more time with his children, he was a member and chairman of the IHM Education Committee, Vice President of the IHM Athletic Association, and treasurer of the Crestview Recreation Association. He also coached soccer at the YMCA and coached the Ursuline Academy summer field hockey team.

He leaves behind his wonderful and devoted best friend of forty-eight years, Judith Elizabeth, and their two lovely daughters whose accomplishments made him proud – Jennifer Elizabeth (Glen Wilson) who shares his optimism and commitment and Jillian Elizabeth who shares his scientific curiosity and logical problem-solving talent. Additionally, two grandchildren, Juniper James and Sawyer Henry, lit up his life and carry on his bright spirit and good humor.
