He came to Princeton from Phillips Exeter Academy, where he wrote for the school yearbook. At Princeton, Henry was the sports editor of The Daily Princetonian, the vice president of the Chapel Choir and the Glee Club, majored in English, and was a member of Charter Club. He married in 1957 and moved off campus.
After graduation, he earned both a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in education from Harvard. Whether it was working from the inside-out with students, teachers, and learning materials, or from the outside-in via designing educational environments, Henry strived to create multi-dimensional opportunities to inspire educators and kids to open their minds, explore outside-the-box possibilities, and try out new things. He was always singing his way through each stage of his life. He was a talented photographer and in the last decade of his life, he and his wife traveled to many countries.
Henry was a perpetual optimist, and even in his journey with Alzheimer’s, found every way to cling to life, determined to keep his mind and body in shape, sing, and share his photographic images, as he prepared for the road he knew was before him.
Henry is survived by his wife, Jane, and three daughters. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
