On January 22, 2020, Fred I.
Henry passed away peacefully, just two months shy of his
86th birthday. If you knew Fred, you know just how much
he loved telling stories about growing up in his beloved
Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, where he was born on
March 21. 1934. He also had countless tales of living in
West Baltimore and Ellicott City, where he lived most of
his life. He spent many of those years in 18 wheelers,
transporting new cars across the country. For 25 years,
and until he retired, he drove for DMT Trucking. Fred
also was an avid handyman and a long-time member of the
Arbutus Social Club.
Fred
loved trucks and motorcycles, but throughout his life,
his real passion was for Country and Bluegrass Music. He
liked nothing better than singing and playing his
guitar, and making music (and CDs) with his friends.
Nobody could sing "Red Necks, White Socks, and Blue
Ribbon Beer" quite like Fred!
He is
survived by Ann, the love of his life and wife of 43
years; his daughter. Cheryl Barnes; sister, Jean Brown;
four stepchildren--Mark, Jeff, and Deanna Dell'Acqua,
and Joann Cunzeman; 10 grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren who called him Poppy; and countless
friends and relatives. He was preceded in death by his
parents, William Henry and Minnie Virginia Hovermale;
brother Bernard William Henry; son, Randy Henry; and
granddaughter, Crystal.
A
memorial is scheduled for Saturday, February 1, 2020,
from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at Kelsey's Restaurant,
Normandy Shopping Center, 8480 Baltimore National Pike,
Ellicott City, MD 21043.
