Obituary for Harry DeWarren Henry Jr.
Harry DeWarren Henry Jr, 86, of Ogunquit ME. formerly of Albany NY, passed away suddenly at his home by the shore Tuesday, September 13, 2022 while working in his yard.
Harry was born January 22, 1936 in Albany, NY, the son of Harry DeWarren and Bertha Felt Henry, and attended Albany Schools. He served an apprenticeship as a sheet metal worker post high school. Later in life he earned his bachelor’s degree in Education from SUNY Oswego.

He was proud of his country and enlisted in the US Naval reserves, serving in 1954 and again in the early 1980’s.
