He was passionate about staying healthy and exercising daily. Henry is survived by his mother, Rita Guillaume; brother, James Guillaume and wife, Lisa; sisters, Joyce G. Chauvin and husband, Errol, and Rita Nettles and husband, Russell; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and long-time friend and companion, Lou Reynolds.
