Arnold H. Henry

Arnold H. Henry, 89, of Maumee, Ohio, passed away peacefully at Hospice of NW Ohio, surrounded by his loving family on August 25, 2023. He was born on September 27, 1933, in Portsmouth, Ohio, to his late parents Arnold, Sr. and Grace M. (Wall) Henry. He was raised on a farm in Quincy, Kentucky, where he attended Vanceburg High School. He furthered his education at Morehead University graduating in 1956. He moved to Toledo in 1968 to advance his career joining Owens Illinois. He worked for 25 years, traveling worldwide before retiring. He then worked at Manville in Waterville for an additional 10 years before retiring again.

In 1956, Arnold met Jean Loring, while they were working together in Cincinnati. They soon fell in love and married in 1957. Together, the couple shared 66 beautiful years of marriage, fostering wonderful memories and deep love. Arnold and Jean raised three daughters, which were his entire world. Family meant everything to him, and he was devoted to spending time with his wife and children. They went on many family road trips and cruises. Arnold and Jean enjoyed 38 cruises all over the world. He and his wife vacationed with their two grandchildren every summer. They were extremely dear to him.
