I had the pleasure of knowing
I had the pleasure of knowing Paul, as my best friend Spidey lived on his farm for the five years previous to the family selling it. Spidey and I would walk the track and often see Linda and Paul out walking just in front of us. It was a beautiful thing watching them enjoy the farm. They were both always so friendly.
Having been a part of a harness horse family myself I know the kind of homegrown, down to earth and true horsemanship the entire Henry family is. Paul was all of those things.Now his sons must carry on his legacy so the industry will not forget him.
We have a rare and special community in the harness horse world, that not even a government can dismantle or destroy. At times like this when we lose one of our own, we are reminded to stay strong and hold on to each other, so that it will continue.
On behalf of Spidey, he has asked me to tell Linda that if you need anything, he will always be there for you.
Forever Young Paul. The world is a better place for you having been here.

What a great guy........so sad ......and so young. I was fortunate enough to see Paul just before he left for his last trip to Florida. He was always willing to help out when ever asked. ......especially in the early days when we were stabled at Flamboro.......his familiar laugh always cheered you up. My condolences to Linda and his family.
What a shocker, Paul was
What a shocker, Paul was truly a person of peace and friendship, these fine qualities that I found were virtually qualities that I admired and truly love this guy. I'm so sorry, for Linda, Travis, and Cody. However not only them, but his father and mother, how devastating it is when children leave before the parents. To George Wayne and Trevor, I know you're really going to miss him, the fond memories that you guys would have had growing up together and then even later on in life, my prayers go out to this family, I am completely lost for words, may God bless all the loved ones of Paul Henry. the Wassilyn Family.
