“Henry was a great sounding board and was always there for sage advice, counsel and insight no matter where you were or what you did in the organization,” saidRick Schwartz, WinWholesale president and CEO. “He trained countless people, including me, in the fundamentals of wholesaling. It’s clear that our presence in the Northeast would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for him.”
