    Please accept my very deepest condolences to Mr. Henke's wife Phyllis and all his family. I had the greatest privilege of only meeting, talking and having dinner with him one day as a Caregiver with Comfort Keepers. We enjoyed talking about his wife, family, his work, golfing and so many things and I truly was looking forward to sharing more days like that with him. Again, my deepest sympathies to all his family, friends and loved ones.
