Merle, my sincere sympathy to you and the rest of the Halvorson family on your father's passing. I didn't realize he was over 100. What a life well lived. He was always so happy and chatty. I am sure he was ready to be reunited with sweet Lucy. Rest in peace, Henry.

We always enjoyed Henry's insightful conversations! He was a very intelligent man who understood any subject. We would ALL do well to emulate his compassion towards others - he lived his life by the "Golden Rule".

Merle and family, please accept my sympathy. I have an interesting story of your dad and my mother, Florence Treider Slais, I want to share with you. I got to know your father when he was living at Bethel. You see he and my mother were childhood friends and were in Bethel together until my mother past away in 2014. I would always hear the story of how your father's mother was my mother's mother's midwife when my mother was born on March 25, 1917, just a week after your father was born. They always enjoyed telling me that and that they had remained friends all these years. It is one story I will treasure about my mother and your father. God blest our parents with friendship.

Henry was always on the go - whizzing by on his scooter. I’ll miss his shiny smile while I was heating up his leftover pizza and whatnot. Happy scooting in Heaven, Henry, and hope you enjoy God’s Angels’ cooking!! Maybe they’ll make pizza!!!

Henry was a hero: Together with his beloved wife he was farming in Alamo, and he had to work hard for hole his life.In 1972 he and Lucy visited har family in Hattfjelldal Norway. It was a real great moment for the hole family there. Lycy`s father Bernt had lot of siblings and it was many og relatives celebrating the reunion, and Lucey and my mother had a close friendship after that,
In 1999 I and my niese Marit went over to North Dakota to visit Lucy and Family
Ae came to Alamo a late afternoon a day in September. After a while Henry came out to meet us. I could see he was moved. he was the first perosn I met in USA as family.
We had two weeks at their house wich I never will forget. We got friendship for ever.
we came back in 2000 and 2011. Lucy and Henry were very good friends and relatives. We spent always good times together. Henry was real hero, fighting every day. We kept in touch with telephone an he told me how much he was missing his Lucy. Now they both can rest in heaven and we will never, never forget. Thank you for all good memories. I love you..

Merle and family,
Sorry to hear of Henry passing. I always enjoyed visiting with him at the elevator. I last visited him at Bethel about a year ago and thought to myself how interesting to visit with someone 100 years old that had a better memory than me. He was a good man.
