Henry was discharged two years later and began working at Sealright-Oswego Falls Corp. He was promoted to executive vice-president in 1954 and president in 1960. Henry retired from the company in 1967 and returned to practice law until 1972. He was a member of Hamilton's Board of Trustees from 1959 - 1971. He died in 2008 at the age of 94.
