Heaven received another angel on Friday, August 6, 2021. Thomas W Henry Sr. of Homer City passed away surrounded by his loving family. He was born April 28, 1950 to the late James Jobe and Peggy Lou (Mitchell) Henry of Buffington Township.

As a graduate of United High School, he was a pillar of his community. Tom worked as a coal miner for Helen and Oneida Mining Companies. Most recently he worked as the Roadmaster of Buffington Township. He attended Barkley Wesleyan Methodist Church.
He was a hugh car enthusiast, restoring old vehicles, going camping, neighborhood mechanic, and spending time with his 6 grandchildren, Cheyane, Ian Hillan, and Mavrick, Makaela, Mitchell, and McGuire Henry.
Tom treasured his 55 Chevy Truck, 69 Convertible Torino, and 69 Volkswagen Beetle. He loved to go to car shows to talk with everyone about the good ol’ days, when they built cars.
