He attended school through eighth grade at District 97, secretly wishing that the school would burn down so he could stay home and plow, because he loved to farm.

Henry milked cows until 1970 and continued crop farming until the mid-1980s. The brothers bought their first tractor in 1937 and made the transistion from horses.

After he retired from farming in the 80s, he helped Edna with her candle business, cut blocks for quilts which Nordland women made into mission quilts, cut rags into strips and then rolled them into balls to make into rugs which were also given away, and he learned to cross-stitch and began stitching beautiful quilts which were donated to community causes, primarily to the Nordland Mission Fest.
He also was treasurer of Roseville Township for several years.
