He married Mary Hudson on September 5, 1959 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Oklahoma City.

Henry's profession as an Engineer took him all over the United States.  From 1960-1963, he was employed by the Martin Marietta Corporation in the Concrete Products Division (Plant and Design Engineer) in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Next, Hank went to the Stressteel Corporation in Union City, California and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania (Chief Engineer, Western Division/VP Eastern Division). From 1973-1981, he was a Vice President for the Arundel Corporation in Baltimore, Maryland.  His next stop on his journey brought him to Dallas, Texas where he worked for the Lafarge Corporation/General Portland, Inc. as Vice President and Senior Vice President (1981-1988).  Next, came a year in Birmingham, Alabama as the President of Allied Products, Inc. One last professional move took him to York, Pennsylvania where he was the President of Delta Carbonate Inc/Pen Roc, Inc.  Henry retired in 1992 after a long and industrious career.

Henry had many interests and associations, both inside and outside of his professional career.  Those included the following:  member: Theta Kappa Phi Fraternity, Oklahoma State University; Chi Epsilon National Honorary Engineering Fraternity; Sigma Xi National Honorary Research Society; Post-Tensioning Institute; Honors Fellowship Recipient, Oklahoma State University (College of Engineering, 1960; Director, National Slag Association (1979-1980); Board Member, Texas Aggregates and Concrete Association (1982-1986); Professional Member, Pre-stressed Concrete Institute; Registered Civil Engineer in New Mexico, California and Texas; Fellow, American Society of Civil Engineers; Knights of Columbus, Honors of the Fourth Degree; North Dallas chamber of Commerce (1998-2000);  Kiwanis Club of Sun City, Texas; Tax Appraisal Board of Williamson County, Texas; and Landscape Maintained Homes Committee of Sun City, Texas; Lector, Parish Council and Finance Committee at Santa Rosa De Lima Catholic Church in Andice, Texas.

Henry's impact on others, throughout his life, was both evident and noteworthy.  He gave of his time freely, on a regular basis and found great solace in 'giving back' to the community he lived in, wherever that was, including the Catholic Church he so loved.  Henry's devotion to his family was ever-present and profound.  Time spent with his four grandchildren was enormously special to him.  Henry positively touched the lives of many and we are the better for it.  His loss is felt by all who knew him.

Henry  is survived by his loving wife, Mary Boecker of Georgetown; daughter, Diane (Boecker) Redmond of Colorado Springs, Colorado; son, Steven Boecker of Newnan, Georgia; grandsons, David and Mark Redmond; granddaughters, Rachael Redmond and Julia Boecker.
