The love and affection Martin showed to his family will be greatly missed. Take hope in that one day there will be a resurrection promised by Jesus where Martin will be reunited with family and friends (Jo 3:16). Please accept my sincerest condolences. - Andrew

There will never be another like Mutt. Charming, witty and worldly, Mutt was one of a kind.

My father, Carl Lavery, worked with Mr. Henry at the Endowment Association and considered him a trusted colleague. I always enjoyed his chosen nickname. Go in peace.
