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.

My condolences to Harry's family and friends.
I send a sad smile of caring to Dad Henning and to Jeff, chessie 1971. I know it takes a while to readjust to such losses, but may your days of mourning also be days of renewal.

Thanks Ed!!!
Condolences to the Henning family. He will be missed in the train community. God Bless.
I came to know Harry a little over a year ago. He was so engaging about our train hobby. He knew many things and was always helpful in taking care of my needs. I will surely miss seeing him. My sincere condolences to his family and coworkers .
Terrible news. I just found out Monday night and will be going to the services today.
Harry 3rd was a guy who loved trains and would help anyone achieve their railroad dreams. He is severly missed.
And my deepest sympathy to the family and co-workers at the store.
