Many would say that Melvin Henry was the strongest person they had ever known. He was the ultimate problem solver and analytical thinker. He could fix anything and if he did not know how, he would learn. He was a hard worker, loved his family immensely, and had a passion for hunting and fishing. If heaven was not already perfect, Melvin would already be making repairs. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
The family would like to send a special thank you to Terrebonne General Health Systems CCU, St. Joseph Hospice, and Dr. St. Cyr.
