John H. McHenry, Jr.
October 5, 1942 – March 16, 2012
John H. McHenry, Jr., 69, of Solomons, MD, passed away peacefully at his home on March 16, 2012 after a long, courageous fight against liver cancer. He was born in Baltimore, MD to the late John H. McHenry, Sr. and Jeannette Koons McHenry. John is survived by his beloved wife of 45 years, Amy McHenry, son Tripp McHenry, daughter Kara Sysol and her husband Brad; grandchildren Katelyn, Brandon, Lauren and Ashlyn Sysol. He was the brother of Mike McHenry and his wife Debbie, Pat McHenry and wife Meg and Sara Chase and her husband Hank. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
John graduated from Frederick High School in 1960 and Gettysburg College, class of 1965. He worked for Sagner, Inc. in Frederick for five years and then joined his father who owned McHenry Associates, Inc. As the business grew, he became president of McHenry Equipment and McHenry Small Engine.
After he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, he retired in 2004 and moved to Solomons Island, MD. He loved his life by the water and quickly became very involved in the community. He volunteered at the Calvert Marine Museum, the bio lab and SMOCS. He also became the “dockmeister” of Oyster Bay, his condo community. He spent many hours restoring the docks with other volunteers and managing the boat slips. He also cooked breakfast at the Four Winds Café on Sunday and enjoyed mingling with all who came.
The memorial service will be held at the Rausch Funeral Home, P. A., 20 American Lane, Lusby, MD on Saturday, March 31 at 11:00 AM.
In lieu of flowers we ask that memorial contributions be made to Calvert Hospice, P. O. Box 838, Prince Frederick, MD 20678. “Donations are encouraged online at www.calverthospice.org “
