MADISON – Henry passed away Sept. 29, 2012, at the age of 96, after a long life filled with a love of learning and an interest and enthusiasm for many things, which he freely shared. He was a kind, gentle, and private man, in many ways a Renaissance man with eclectic tastes. He worked in construction and for the University of Wisconsin, finishing his career as a conservator-craftsman at the Elvehjem (now Chazen) Museum of Art, where he was very proud to work. While at the Elvehjem, he studied with expert art conservators and taught himself by practicing on paintings he bought at garage sales.
