I was his roommate and classmate in Galveston, Texas and Baton Rouge, La. I knew Hoshang (Henry) for 40 years. He was a good friend and very family man. He loved his wife Mary. He always told me how much he loves Mary. I was sadden when Mary was not with him, because Mary was love of his life and everything to him. He just never could get over it that Mary is not by his side anymore. Every time I called him, he started the conversations with Mary and how much he loves her. God bless his soul. My friend Henry God be with you, and you will meet Mary in Heaven. Also, God gives the rest of family comfort and patient on this difficult time.
