Henry was born August 17th, 1945 to Anna and Phillip Herman in Williston, North Dakota and moved with his family to Columbia Falls, Montana when he was about one year old and lived there his entire life. Henry attended Columbia Falls Schools and at the age of 16 with his twin brother Charles went to work at Rocky Mountain Lumber. At the age of 18 they both went to work at Stoltz Lumber company. Henry remained there for over 33 years until a work injury caused him to retire. He then became the cook of the household much to the delight of his wife. 
At the age of 18 he was drafted into the Army where he served one and a half years for his country in Vietnam. After his discharge he married the girl he loved since she was 17, Darlene Weiand. They were married June 14, 1969 and celebrated 50 years together this past June. Of this union they had two sons, Wade and Guy. Henry loved his sons, adored his granddaughters and was lucky enough to have great granddaughters who had a special place in his heart. Henry was an avid sportsman hunting anything that was in season. Fall was his favorite hunting time hearing the elk bugle was his rush. Fishing was his number one passion. One of his greatest accomplishments was shooting a trophy bull elk with his bow that landed him in the Pope and Young book.
