HENRY SCHNABEL PASSES AWAY
A friend of Guam passes away in the Philippines.
He was related to Carl Gutierrez, don't know how but he was. He was related to the Calvos, don't know how, but he was. And, he was a close friend to hundreds...I know why. He was kind, gentle and friendly and if you needed insurance, he found a way to help you get covered, that was his life. You saw this man with his wife at church, lately, you saw him with Carmina at various clinics, but you saw him at rosaries, funerals and at mass, at Christenings and at weddings and other celebrations, they were always together. If you knew 'Uncle Henry', you had to know that he loved Carmina first, then his daughter, then his sons, oh, somewhere in there, God fit in, it just didn't ever come up in conversations as to where in a number He fit in. 'Uncle Henry' was a partner in the Calvo Insurance Company which you'd think automatically made him a republican, but he never talked politics and was generous to candidates of both parties which was an endearing quality because you could never tell which side of the fence he was on.
Someone anonymous once said, ""When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice." I think he was saying it of 'uncle Henry'. Adios, tio Henry.
