Henry Futch Obituary

Harriet, I am very sorry to hear about Henry. I'm not sure you remember, but he was my oldest daughter's godfather. He reached out with a phone call years ago which went to my answering machine and when I tried to call him back, I couldn't reach him. I just found out that he passed away last year so I'm sorry, and I regret, that we never got back in touch. We had some great times together, some memorable, and some I don't think he would mind me saying, probably not worth remembering. One that stands out was a trip the two of us took to St. Simons for a weekend and we both ran out of money. To find enough money to buy gas to get us home in my 1961 black Thunderbird, Henry hocked his beloved guitar! I always begged him to retrieve it, but I don't think he ever did. On our way home Henry was driving the bird and I was dozing, and I heard a curse word and woke up to see us barreling through a highway stop sign. Fortunately, there was just a pasture in front of us and no cars in the cross traffic! I hope you and family are doing well, and I apologize for the late condolences, but I don't keep up with my old friends like most people do, so my daughter just sent the obit to me so I could at least let you know I have fond memories of the times we spent together. Take care.

I´m sorry for your loss.

While Henry referred to us as "The Northerns" that was ok in his eyes. We loved our visits and listening to his songs. One of my favorite memories which I have shared with family and friends is: Valentine´s Day many years ago spent at the Holiday Inn downtown Charleston
They had a great seafood buffet that evening. There were two Romanian Cello players performing classical music. Of course Henry has a little chat with them and decides he wants to sing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart " Everyone clapped and enjoyed Henry´s singing. I´m sure Henry is in heaven singing to our sweet Lord.

Saddened by the loss of our dear friend, Poppa Futch.
Our condolences to Mrs. Harriet and the boys.
We were very fortunate to have known him and to spend time with him and his family.

Dear Futch Brothers
I am sorry for your loss. Sounds like your dad was a good and willing servant, some I´m sure he is in the Good Lord´s loving and eternal embrace.

I am honored to have watched him play all the way back to my teenage years. He was a true gentleman and a great storyteller. Thoughts and prayers over his family.

Am proud to have known Poppa Futch and sending love and warm thoughts to all of his family and friends.

Futch Family,
