In 1949 he joined the Government Information Service in Brussels.

He next served as president of European operations for Carl Byoir and Associates in London. From 1969, Henry was a frequent contributor to several magazines. He was a devoted Princetonian: a past president of the Princeton Club of London and member of its schools committee.

Henry is survived by Claire and Malcolm, his children of a previous marriage; Bettina, his wife of 45 years; their daughter, Claudia; and grandchildren, Christopher, Matthew, and Trilby.
