    To the Henning Family: Bruce and me are sorry for the loss of your Dad. We enjoyed spending time with him at Camp. We know he loved being at Camp among everyone and he was happy to be part of the crowd. He loved sitting in his chair and watching all the actions going on around him. Its a gift knowing He was able to live a full life. The last couple years were tough on him and your family. He missed his loved ones gone before him and his companion Peanut. Its a relief to know he isn't dealing with illness any longer, and is among the family and friends he missed so dearly. Always remember he is just asleep in Jesus Christ and find comfort in knowing you will see him again. Our sincere condolences. Bruce and Renee Piontkowski

    So sorry to hear about his passing. He was such a nice man. We spent time with him when he was on vacation in Fort Myers. He loved his dog.
