Born in Freeport, NY, on December 3, 1936, he was a son of the late Henry, Sr. and Freda Wirtl Els. A retired chemist for Carrubba, Inc., Henry enjoyed golf and nature. He loved his cats, and he especially enjoyed feeding the birds and squirrels that waited for him every morning for breakfast on his back deck.
