I knew Henry from Jefferson Standard Country Club back in the 1980s when we worked together as waiters and buss persons to support our school expenses at A&T. I will always remember him for his kind heart.

My condolences and prayers to friends and family. I'm thankful that brother Henry helped expedite my college application into NCA&TSU back in 2000. I had a wonderful and successful college experience and will be forever grateful to him. Rest Peacefully!

My friend Saye who I would call Stranger Deacon, between the many daily Bible verses sent to me, I asked in a text: Me: Hi Saye Price!! How are you? Isn't God good? Saye: Doing ok, Yes God is great! I'm so glad he is in my life. "Assalamualaikum" (leaf symbol). Souljah with a big heart! Rest in Power! Your homegirl at G.... Love you HSP, Vivian A. Dennis

To the Price family I send my sincere condolence and prayers to you all and friends of Mr. Henry Say. I have known him all my life from when he was my grandfather's neighbor on Falls Street. Mr. Henry Say will be missed. I could always count on when I saw him to call me the nickname he had for me and I will miss hearing that name whenever I saw him no matter where we were. Continuous Prayers.
