Henry was great gentleman to be around. We had a good solo card group that played weekly before the pandemic stopped us , but recently got back at it. He was fun to play with and will be greatly missed by all that knew him. Rest In Peace Henry.

To Henry’s family and friends, I am saddened to hear of his passing. I was fortunate to know and to work with Henry at Dashwood Industries. As a co-worker, I recall that Henry was well-liked, well-respected, and always approachable and personable. He will be missed.

It is with great sorrow we mourn the sudden loss of our long time neighbour and loved friend, Henry. He was a kind, generous man, and he most certainly will be missed. We are thankful for great memories with such an adventurous, fun guy during outings on snowmobiles, motorcycles, and fly-ins, which he and Sandra thoroughly enjoyed. Praying for peaceful hearts that can hopefully find comfort in knowing he has finally reunited with his sweetheart, Sandra. We will always cherish the memory of this most decent of men with respect and great fondness of heart.

Henry…..You will be missed by all who knew you. We remember the infectious smile and your devotion for church. Rest in peace my friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

To all Henry’s family, friends and neighbours;

Sincere sympathy in the loss of our dear Henry. Although I knew Henry for many years I really got to know him well the last few years, and even better post Covid. Henry was my fellow videographer at St. Peter’s Lutheran church. He was always a delight to work with. So accommodating, willing to help and the ultimate gentleman. I always enjoyed our phone conversations and visits at our church coffee hour. He will be missed by all. R.I.P. dear Henry.

To Henry’s Family, neighbors & friends. I had the pleasure of knowing Henry during my time at Dashwood Industries and the reacquainted during a motorcycle summer trip. He was always steady and you could count on Henry for anything! Such a kind gentleman! He will not be forgotten. God bless.

Sending condolences to Henry’s family. We spent many hours at Sexsmith Airport with Sandie and Henry over the years. Many fly ins and fly outs for meals were enjoyed by all. Henry will be missed.
Don and Henry went to school at South Huron in their teen years and reconnected through their love of flying. Rest in peace Henry.

Suddenly with Henry gone our neighbourhood is less beautiful. We always loved the Christmas decorations at the Gackstetter home to bring a smile and put us in the spirit of Christmas. He was a true gentleman and will be missed

To the Gackstetter Family & Friends

I feel very honoured to be able to call Henry my friend at St. Peter’s.

A welcoming smile and twinkle in the eye, was Henry’s trademark. Such a kind and gentle soul. Henry was training me recently, to be a videographer for our services, and offered me endless support. The members of St. Peter’s will miss him. R.I.P. Henry
