Henry Benattar

Benattar, Henry 1928-2015 "I've had a good life. Je ne regrette rien": Henry's words when he learned he was ill. He travelled widely to 53 countries, making friends wherever he went, friendships he kept throughout his life. He shared his life with his wife of 63 years, Ann (Boswell), and together they had five children, Edie, Tony (Sandra), Pat (Heather), Sue (Wes), and Samantha (Dave). In addition to his immediate family, he leaves behind his brothers Nino and Jacques, his sister, Sylvie, as well as nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. He courageously faced the end of his life with his sense of humour intact, sharing chocolate and stories of his rich and colourful life with those around him. Special thanks to the many friends whose visits and calls brightened Henry's last months. Our deepest gratitude goes to the health care professionals, especially the home care team, who cared for Henry with the utmost kindness and became part of the family.
