Henry Henlisia, beloved husband of the late Lucy Henlisia, died peacefully in Yorkton, Saskatchewan on November 30, 2013. He was 87 years of age. Henry was one of twelve children of Nickola and Tatania (nee Juba) Hnylycia born on the family farm near Hubbard, Saskatchewan on September 19, 1926. Henry moved away from the farm to Yorkton, Saskatchewan. It was there that he met Lucy Wolkowski, and eventually married on May 2, 1954. They were blessed with two sons, David and Greg. Originally, Henry started his career as an automobile mechanic. He later switched careers and started to work for the Hudson's Bay Company, where he worked for over 25 years. It was there that he earned a reputation of being a "Mr. Fix It." Whether it was repairing or building new, there was nothing too difficult for Henry to tackle. Henry enjoyed many hobbies. Besides gardening, he enjoyed growing apple trees and fancied himself as quite the arborist. He was also noted for lending a hand to anyone in the neighborhood needing it. Henry was a devout member of St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church. Besides being an honorary life time member of the Knights of Columbus, both Lucy and Henry were involved in many church functions along with volunteering for the parish hall.
