	Very active in the church, he was an elder and was featured in the 4 Mar 1928 edition of The Lookout, Magazine of Christian Education, published in Cincinnati, for the boys' class he taught at Central Christian. The story is headlined "Thoe Old Gang o' Mine." "Henry Stricker, Sr., of Waco, Texas, thinks of the class of boys he teaches at Central Christian Church as "that old gang o' mine." An unusual spirit of comradeship exists between him and all the boys of the group. He spends much time and energy for the class and enjoys the activities and associations just as much as the do the boys..."

The obit says he had been ill about two years and been confined to his home for two weeks. It is said he was too weak to attend his mother's funeral; she died a few weeks before he did. Henry is listed as the 'informant' on Anna Barbara's death certificate. I don't know whether that meant he felt strong enough to go down there or did it over the phone or through a proxy.
