I was so sorry to hear this sad news. Henry was a really good guy, may he Rest In Peace. I grew up next door to the Pontarellis during high school and Henry was always getting into something fun!! My heart breaks for Marlenne, Anne, Carol and Joanne and all of Henry's family and friends. I was planning to be there Friday to give you all a hug but circumstances prevented that.

So many great memories of Henry going back to the County Trail Pub. What I’ll remember most about Henry was his laugh. RIP my friend; you will be missed.

I've known Henry since the late 80's when we worked together at Pacific Wine Company. Ironically, we both won Salesman of the year in 1990,.him for off premise, mine for on. His award is next to mine in the store, Wine Knows in Grayslake.. One of the GOOD GUYS in the business. He was just in last Tuesday to finalize his list for this Sundays Big Red Tasting. I will be pouring the wine in his honor. Customers & other sale folks are all in shock. We will miss him. Now you can drink with Franco! Cheers!!!
