A terrible shock - Henry was a very lovable person.

He was a true one of a kind. God bless him.

I’ve never known a more troubled soul than Henry, or David, as those close to him knew him.
This was something waiting to happen but, now that it has happened, it’s still a shock.
He could be a lovely, lovely man. But he was his own worst enemy.
Let’s hope that he has finally found peace.

I will miss Henerwenery.

Joseph David Windsor. RIP

He will leave a Henners shaped hole in my life. God bless, my friend. Mwah!

RIP Henners. You meant a lot to so many of us. We will miss you.

I am so very sad to read this…

I shall miss you, you silly old goat. I hope you took a windlass with you. You were never without one, seeing as you magged up so bloody many of them.

What a shock. I didn’t know David as well as other people here, but I think its fair to say we’ll all miss him. Rest in the peace you deserve Henners.

Very sad news - we loved reading his blog, often very poignant but always very funny. Great sense of humour he had.

I couldn’t believe it when I heard from Hutters. Henry made me laugh a lot and feel like crying often and I sometimes answered back. I consider myself lucky that I sailed the Charlie Rose with him one day. I knew he was troubled but I hope he’s now settled in a better place.

Hello to all of Davids intermerweb friends. Marion kindly directed me here. Thank you for all of your kind comments. My brother was one of a kind ( Thank God thinks customer relations of Notwork Snail )
Beneath the anger and comedy was a kind,honest and decent man.
I will miss him and think of him always, he was and is my big brother. We would laugh so much that my ribs would hurt.
RIP David & thanks to you all for your support over the years. It kept him going in troubled times. God Bless & love from myself and the Windsor family. x

Matt, you are a dude. Well done for visiting where David thrived. A

Thank you all for giving our brother Dave - aka Henry - purpose. He enjoyed entertaining you all! We love him dearly. He was fearful,gentle, angry and funny. He was difficult and kind and he was our brother. He tried so many times mend, but never succeeded and he finally surrendered, quietly and peacefully.
He will always be loved and missed by me, Matt and Mum and Dad.
He found good, true friendships here and we thank you all.
His sister, Beeb xxx

Dear Matt and Lucy; thank you so much for visiting here and meeting us. Your brother was a very important part of our odd little community and very much loved, warts and all. We’ll miss his own inimitable individuality and are the poorer for his loss. Henners will never be forgotten. Please pass our condolences to the rest of his family.

I’m so sorry

Thank you for putting this back up, Simon. A good cry is what I needed.

I chatted with Henners on many occasions, and visited him once. Other than saying “he was an interesting character” I’m not sure quite how to describe him!

In any case, it was an honour to have known him!

Hey Simon, thanks so much for sorting out dear Davids blog. My sister Lucy & I have been over to his flat again today and we were feeling sadder than a violin solo in a dark church on a black, rainy night. I have just been reading through some back catalogue pieces and he made me laugh out loud. (Again)
We are having to wait for an inquest I’m afraid. Findings inconclusive.
Kind regards to all out there. I promise to keep you up-dated.

I am so sorry to hear the news, I always looked forward to reading his blog, he often made me laugh. All the best to his family.

I will always remember the day I first met David and Marion. A total stranger but to Henners strangers were just friends he had yet to meet. Trouty, Henry and I walked down the navigation and chatted about boats, life and general toot. The next time I visited them, I took a magnum of champagne and my own chair, and we ate duck and splot and trouty got squiffy on the champagne.

Nothing to say that hasn’t already been said. Farewell Henners - it was really good chatting to you and I’ll miss your insightful insights.

After too long a break after our school days together, David and I met up again a couple of years ago, through this very blog. And what a truly wonderful blog it has been: warm and human and cross and funny and bitter and sweet: just like its creator. And now it’s a memorial; far, far too early. Goodbye, old friend. The world is poorer and duller without you.
Rick Anstis.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of David. He was a brilliant and kind man. Please give my love to his father who was ever so kind to me at a difficult time in my life.

I would often get belly laughs from many of his posts but always from his comment section when he would respond to himself with various hilarious monikers. May you rest in peace…I’ll miss you.

Well done everyone, especially Matt and Lucy

Only met him once at an early Simon G meet, but share everyones admiration of Henry and sadness that he’s no longer with us

So very sad to hear the news. I was a keen follower of Henry’s blog - he always managed to ‘hit the nail on the head’ with his comments and observations on life - I often thought, “this guy should have a booked published". As previous comment have said - he could make you laugh and make you cry when reading his blog (not many people could achieve that). I can’t believe I won’t be reading about Doc Holiday again ……. he’ll be sadly missed…..

Who could have thought he would die alone in his lonely hall - this remarkable and much loved man. It will be a long time before we who are left behind are happy again.

I didn’t mean to be anonymous

…..and now I am almost too ashamed to own up. I put my name in the URL box. David would have a keen comment for this carry-on……

I met Dave on his first day at Brixton police station. There are few original characters and the only person he imitated was himself. He was uniquely comic and with a slightly different throw of the dice many more folk would know his name. The Authorities never quite caught on to his instinctive surrealism although he was happy to share it with them. He was a brave man and a selfless comrade. A couple of years ago he showed me a tiny door for elves he had made and fitted in the root of a tree. He commented on the human condition by living it. My sympathy to all his family and friends

I thought I had done all my crying over the years that he was still with us. But it seems there’s plenty left to come.
Your messages are a great comfort.

The family Mort are deeply saddened to hear of Henry’s death. I have a short list of blogs I read without fail and Henry was right at the top. I didn’t always agree with him, but I was always interested in his views and lost in admiration for the way he stood up to bullies wherever he found them. Notwork Snail and Tesco are surely more relaxed and even less efficient now they no longer have Henry’s beady eye trained on them.
Love to his family and to Marion.

No words, just sadness.

Dad sends his “warmest thanks and regards” to Juliana, following her earlier comment.
He also says “I know David was much loved by the blog group – it is so comforting to see it in print.”

Henry, I never had the chance to shake your hand, and only really spoke to you on one occasion, but I feel privileged indeed to count you among my friends. I shall miss your wit, your straight talk, and your wisdom. I’ve learned much from you, and I’m grateful. A part of you shall live on in each of us whose lives you touched. Fair winds and following seas, mate. Yarr!

Henry, thank-you for letting me know “It’s in me". And goodbye. You will be missed.

A terrible loss for his family. And a sad loss for the UK Geocaching community. I hope your away finding some serious caches mate. Your caches will remain as a happy memory of you for the Geocaching Community.
