Henry @hpmedia30 was a good guy, a good friend of mine. Great personality.
Great hustler.
Known him for about 10yrs, from Camera assistant, to Director of photography, to Executive producer.
Wonderful soul.
Just when he settled down with a good wife and started producing his own films and making it big, death struck.
What can I say?
God knows best.
R.I.P bro.
Rest well in the bossom of the Lord.”
