James Henri

James H. Henri, 70, passed away on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, at Boston Medical Center.  Jim lived life to its fullest, from riding his motorcycle, to joining the Marines, to becoming a CPA, to re-building and remodeling his home.  He loved to make people laugh with his stories, as well as impart his sage wisdom on those in need - whether they knew it or not!  He was a retired CPA with taxes being his specialty.  When away from his computer and accounting duties, you would find him both drawing and drafting a new creation, or out in his 'studio' carving that new creation.  He loved working with his hands in all aspects of furniture making and carving in wood or stone.   Jim loved his family and friends and was a fierce defender of us all.  He will be greatly missed, but his words and wisdom will live on through us always.    He is survived by the love of his life, Sylvia Hopkins, her two children Gary Randall II and his wife Tiffany, Kimberly Chase and her husband Scott; Grandchildren Gage, Steven, Kaitlyn, Kyla, Andrew, and Hanna; and a Great Grandson, Declan. His siblings John Henri of Reading, MA, Sue Henri-Mackenzie of Brewer, ME, Terry Mullen and her husband Chris of Pembroke, NH and Patrick Rourke and his wife Julie of Epping, NH plus many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father John Henri and his beloved mother Jean E. Fogarty, his brothers Charles Henri and Michael Fogarty and his sister-in-law Joan Henri.Family and friends may visit Wednesday September 7, 2022 from 11-1pm at R.M. Edgerly & Son Funeral Home, 86 South Main Street, Rochester, NH.
