After apprenticing as a carpenter with Sprattling and many years with Magnacca Construction, Henry became a private builder. Henry then joined Manitoba Housing and Renewal Corporation as a building inspector, retiring in 1984. He had a love of music that stayed with him throughout his life but many knew him from years of trapshooting. In 2000 he was honoured by the Brandon Gun Club and made a Life Member of the American Trapshooters' Association for his dedication to the sport.
