The couple lived in Indiana from 1966 to 1978, when they relocated to Portage County, Wisconsin. Henry received his B.S. in biology from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, and was a member of the Senior Honor Society. He primarily worked in the rail industry during his life as a diesel electrician, working for the Indiana Harbor Belt RR in Indiana and the Soo Line RR in Wisconsin. He held an electrician's card and a realtor's license. He also had two years of training in electrical engineering and completed certification in HVAC. He was president of the IBEW local associated with the Indiana Harbor Belt RR at Gibson, Indiana, in 1975. Henry moved to Three Lakes in the summer of 1986, followed by Nancy and the children. The couple divorced in 1988. Henry worked at the Black Forest prior to his death in 1989. He enjoyed fishing and hunting immensely. He had loved the lakes and forests of the north country since childhood.
