Bio:

Went to Anchorage, AK for a 6 month "temporary" work assignment in 1981 and ended up staying there for 39 years! Married in 1986 and enjoyed 19 wonderful years before my wife passed away unexpectedly in 2005. Learned to fly in the mid-80's and had a Cessna 172 for but sold the plane in the late 90's. Thinking about getting another set or wings at some point but that us dependent on getting an updated Class III medical certificate.

I worked as a plan review engineer for the Municipality of Anchorage Building Safety Division for about ten years then as an engineering advisor in the Alaskan oil & gas industry for over 25 years. Retired in July of 2020.

Remarried in February 2012 and my Wife Tina relocated from Las Vegas to Anchorage. We sold our home in Anchorage and relocated to Las Vegas in 2020. Shortly after relocating to Las Vegas, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 laryngeal and pharyngealcancer. Went through a life changing surgery in Nov. of 2020 that removed the cancerous tumor along with my vocal cords and throat. Unfortunately, in May of 2022 I was informed that the cancer had metastasized to my lung(s) Currently (as of March 2024) I'm putting the finishing touches on the proverbial "getting my affairs in order" Still enjoy visiting with many of my longtime friends from BHHS...Que Sera Sera

First off, God Bless Henry, his family, and friends. As a quiet member of the '69 class, there are many classmates I never met, but thanks to many of your recent posts, I feel as if I "get" Henry, and that is a sweet thing. As we're all moving toward the horizon, with many already beyond, I look forward to a colorful campfire chat with Henry Kim. Yes, Happy Trails to All...

I didn't know Henry well but what I did know I lked quite a bit. I remember our freshmen year when we were practicing football commisserating with each other. He handled it a lot better than me. Over the years I followed Henry loosely online. He seemed to be a very godd guy with a great sense of humor. Our BHHS world and the world at large have lost a great person with a great personality. RIP brother.
