Mr Henry was a special person. He was so giving, caring, mild mannered, and took time and had the interest to see how others were doing. He and Mrs Henry have used their wealth to greatly influence the lives of people - old and young. He wrote his series of books for the young, supported the education of students, supported health care through the hospitals here and elsewhere, etc. He had a great impact on many lives. It was a privilege to know Mr Henry. He leaves a legacy that will impact the oil business, and people throughout the Permian Basin for years to come. Bobby Vogel

Ricardo Torres left a message on October 20, 2023:
Mr. Henry’s legacy can be characterized as “the humble servant” of Biblical times. He was said to be extremely generous and caring and truly one of Midland’s most respected philanthropists. In conversations with him I was always impressed by his sharp wisdom and calming demeanor. Let his life experience be an enduring example for all of us to emulate for if anyone merited “wings” from the Lord, it was Jim Henry. Rest in peace, kind sir!

I remember meeting Jim about 15 years ago. I worked for him and Paula along with my son. Jim always had the best conversations with us. He played with my son with a robot….. he was one of the most understanding and compassionate person I think I’ve ever met. My grandchildren have all of his childrens books as well and he took the time for everyone. This world needs more people like Jim Henry. He will be missed dearly.
