Did you have any nicknames as a child? How did you feel about them?
My uncle Ralph, who was more like a brother, had a thing about calling people Henry. I was included. It didn't bother me at all. He was the way he was, and I accepted it. I think he might have thought that he was being funny.

Which people have been the kindest to you in life?
Which people have been the kindest to you in life?
My wife, grandparents, and two others.
Joseph D. Gezienski, who lives in Curtisville, Pennsylvania is one. My truck broke down near the Route 8 Exit on the Pennsylvania turnpike. I discovered that the truckstop had put gasoline in my diesel truck. My wife was living in Houston, Texas. I put my truck in the repair shop, and that’s where I met Joseph. He owned trucks, and he offered me a job. He was also involved in many other businesses. I started driving, and Joe suggested that I buy a truck from him. I did, and bought another truck from him several years later. My wife moved from Houston, Texas, and we bought a house in Curtisville, Pa. My daughter Vicki was 12 years old at the time.
I quit driving my own truck, and went to work for Angelo Fonzi. He had quite a few trucks of his own, and owned a company, which had hundreds of owner operators. I was top revenue man for about 15 years. My wife, Mary, worked for Fonzi too. We worked in Hammond, In. I drove a 34 wheel rig from Hammond, In to Buffalo, NY. The route was through Canada. The route was from Gary, In to Detroit. The route went from Detroit, through London, Hamilton, and Niagara to Buffalo, NY,
My wife lived in Curtisville, Pa the first years of driving from Gary, In to Buffalo NY. I had a 400 mile commute. On Friday night I took a cab to the train station in Gary, In. I would get on the train bound for Pittsburgh, Pa. The train had a delicacy; boiled shrimp sandwiches. I slept in the seats. One of the main stops was Cleveland, Oh. Saturday morning I would arrive in Pittsburgh. We would go home, and I would leave Pittsburgh around noon Sunday. Monday morning I would be back in Gary, In in the truck.
The house pictures are our home in Curtisville, Pa.
We had a hot tub and a pool table.
My wife has been very kind for 69 years.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?
My idea of happiness is having a good feeling about my life. My life has not been perfect. I would have had one job in a perfect world. I was able to manage my finances. My wife and I have enough money to last the rest of our lives. I wouldn’t have moved south in a perfect world. I spent thirteen years in Texas. I was more productive in the northern part of the country. I do have a good feeling about my life overall. I have a good feeling about our finances. My wife contributed to our finances. I feel good about having one wife. (Willie Nelson had several wives.) We worked together. We shared the same ideas.

.

There are photos in the left frame at the bottom.
I watched the birth of Ronald, September 13, 1954.
Ronald died from cancer.
He had a tumor as large as three softballs, which prevented food from entering his stomach.
Ronnie died in 2017.
He died on his birthday September 13, 2017.
He came to visit his parents before he went to the VA hospice.
He knew he would die in the hospice.
A vehicle came to transport him to the hospice.
I'll never forget the horrified look on his face as he boarded the vehicle.
I felt his warm body after his death.
What was your mom like when you were a child?
My mother was concerned about my health and education. She helped me to learn my abc's and counting to 100. She got some cod liver oil, and had me swallow little tablets.
I remember getting my butt beat with a switch, but I don't remember what for.
My mother was the bread winner. One of her first jobs was selling shoes at the Charles store in Defiance. I was about a second grader then. She was a cashier in the General Motors Central Foundry cafeteria. That was one of her last jobs.
She had a picture of me in my ROTC uniform on a table in her house, which was when I was fourteen.
