I didn't know Harry, but judging from these responses he must have been a wonderful person. So sorry to hear about his passing.

My condolences to the entire Henning family and friends. Harry was one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Though I never met Harry I felt like I knew him from his posts on the forum. He was always helpful and always positive in his response. RIP Harry.

Jeff, so sorry for your loss. I lost my father in 1994. I think about him often.

An impetus for our hobby. My condolences to the Henning family.
Much condolences to the Henning Family. I never met Harry but he was one of the first people I learned about when I got back into the hobby because I found tips and tricks he posted here.
Sorry for your loss @chessie1971

Thanks Bill!!!
Harry (Dad), I already sent my condolences to Bill. You and your family have my sympathy and prayers. I will certainly miss Harry. He was a good friend, though I live in Butler, 6 hours away. I first saw Harry posting photographs of his big bridge made of foam and got to know him on FaceBook. He invited me to the first Run for Fun, and I had a great time. I later saw him at York and also posted on FB. He certainly was a great ambassador for the hobby and an all round nice fellow. I will miss him.
Sincere condolences to the Henning family from the staff of OGR. I learned of Harry's passing yesterday via a number of Facebook special interest group forums, and added my thoughts to just about every one of those threads. There is little I could add here because so many of you fine folks have already expressed your memories and accolades in such a fine and comprehensive manner. Harry was a great guy, and I always enjoyed chatting with him at York Meets over the years. So sad to lose another of our most notable ambassadors.
My condolences to the family.
May he rest in peace.
My condolences to the Henning family. Almost every time I was in the store Harry was there, and he always took the time to talk to me, and answered any questions I had. What I will remember most about him is his kindness. RIP. 🙏
Condolences to, and prayers for, his family. Spoke to him a few times at York and once at the store. A genuinely nice man. Too much loss lately.
Harry's passing will leave a void in our industry. He was a great man and innovator.
Our prayers go out to the Hennings
Most sincere condolences to the Henning family on the passing of Harry III. Among the my many visits over the last 60+ years to Hennings in Lansdale I value the memories of the kind, helpful, and friendly assistence from Harry, who along with his family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Godspeed.

I never met Harry, but it just occurred to me that he must have been the owner of, or heavily involved with, Henning’s Trains, a fine model train retailer and repair business in Pennsylvania that fixed one of my trains years ago.
The above heart-warming remarks about Harry is a wonderful tribute to him and his family. Arnold
I’m sorry for your loss. He will be missed by many, and remembered as a kind and caring person.
My condolences to all the Henning family and close friends.
I am a bit far from Landsdale, however years ago when on work assignment in Montgomery/Bucks Counties I would take a small detour at lunch and stop in Hennings Train shop...it was always nice and warm and a comfortable atmosphere with friendly staff. I cannot say that about every train shop I've visited over the years. Good memories.
I have not really been on the forum for a couple of days and get back to this sad announcement. My condolences to his family and friends. Like many others here, I never met him but I can feel the loss to all.
I would like to thank all who responded to my post. It was very heartwarming and appreciated. Years ago I lost my brother John to cancer after a long illness. I remember my dad in the hospital room when John passed saying " It just is not fair that you should watch your child die. It should always be the other way around". This is the only time I had seen my dad brake down, and now I join him. I thank you all and am sorry for rambling on. Dad Henning.

Harry, my heart goes out to you! I won't say how I know; but I know. 
My thoughts and prayers are with the Henning family during this difficult time.
My condolences to the Henning family. I will miss the long talks I have had with Harry filled with knowledge about all things trains.

@Harry Henning posted:Harry was known all over the country & will be sadly missed. It is very upsetting for Bill & old Harry., but we know he is in the right place now. I cannot express how much he will be missed by both friends & family. Dad ( the old man).
as we all get older these moments seem to come faster and faster. What makes it worse is a lot of these men who have been going to the great Train layout in the sky are all people I’ve known as a boy. I realize now how privileged I am that I’ve been able to meet many of these men when I was a kid and how well they treated me. Reading this took me back to when I went to funeral for my dad, uncle then my mom. The big names who started me in this hobby. My deepest condolences to the family, his friends, and all of the people that loved him. The Hobby once again has become a little bit, Emptier.
My most sincere condolences to the family. May he rest in peace with the Lord. I must admit I did not know Harry. My few trips to Lansdale always required me to visit the store and purchase something. The Henning family is a wonderful resource and help to the hobby community. I am sure they will always have great memories of Harry. I only wish I could drive to the store today and offer my condolences. Unfortunately no one ever cheats death and those of us remaining should live our lives to the fullest and never forget people like Harry. God bless you all!
Sorry to hear about this, RIP Harry!
My condolences to the Henning family. I met Harry in real life at the Lansdale Mopar show back in '21. He had his Challenger, I had my road runner convertible. We spent some time talking about our mutual love of all things Mopar and Lionel.
Godspeed, Harry. Til we meet again.............
Condolences to the family. Harry was always warm and welcoming. We had many great friendly business conversations early York mornings. He always viewed the hobby as we are all in this together. Truly a great spirit and ambassador for the hobby. He will be greatly missed.
