Henry touched so many lives, and even touched the lives of my niece and nephew, who had the good fortune of working side by side with Henry and you at School of Rock. I've known Henry for over 45 years, and he was always known as the guy that everyone loved. I hope the wonderful memories of Henry will get you through this difficult time. Huggzzz.

I was so terribly terribly shocked to hear this sad and devastating news! Henry was an amazing individual! As my guitar teacher for the past year and a half, he taught me so much about guitar playing as he shared his expertise and passion for music and for life with me! Sending my deepest condolences and strength to dear Shelley, and to your entire family, and to the School of Rock! I know Henry will be sadly missed by all, but he will always be in our hearts and minds. Big hugs!

Shelly and family: We came upon your school because of all my kids love of music first and foremost and through my sister, Diane, who had known Henry for a very long time. At the School of Rock, we came to know Shelly and Henry through their love of teaching and music. Henry was a very kind, and generous man to his students and his love of music was second to none. We recently saw him at the last adult concert where for the first time in 4 shows, he was inspired to get up and do what he loves which is to play music. The look on his face when he was playing was second only to the way he looked at Shelly whenever she came into the room. Its a blessing to watch someone do what they love and to know that his family loved him just as much as he loved them no matter if you have 100 years or 100 minutes with them. Its rare to see that kind of love these days and knowing Henry for a short time, I can understand why people were drawn to his kind smile and gentle nature. A real loss not just for the School and the students who loved him but for anyone who knew him. He will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.

George, Nicholas and I are so shocked and saddened to hear this tragic news about our beloved Henry- our first ever music teacher. Playing Rock n Roll always reminds us of Henry's kind and patient style and the care he placed in helping us learn our songs and nurture our love of music. I considered Henry a friend. He took such a personal interest in both George and Nicholas and his and my lessons often ended in the sharing of stories and experiences of parenting our respective sons. My heart, love and prayers go out to Shelly and his sons and the entire family. Henry was a loving, kind caring soulful man full of life. He has made a big impression in our lives and I am certain on so many other lives as well. God bless you Henry and rest your soul in heaven forever. Your friends always, Danny, George and Nicholas Kourtis.

A talented musician and every day problem solver (which a touch of Yiddishkeit sarcasm) who always brought laughter even at the saddest times. He will be missed by those who knew him, and those who have only heard of him through his mitzvot as well as his shtick. Jonathan

We were stunned and sorry to hear of Henry's passing. We had not seen him in a few years but knew him through a friend. He helped me (Ralph) find a short-lived job and supported me through some problems with it. He also generously did a number of repair and installation jobs in our home. Our condolences to everyone on your loss.

I was immensely saddened by this news. I met Henry 30 years ago and later we worked together for several years. We reconnected most recently and I am happy we had the opportunity to reminisce. My deepest condolences.

Dearest Shelly and family, Words cannot adequately express how deeply saddened we are at the news of Henry’s passing. His passion and dedication to teaching music is his legacy – a gift for which parents and students will always be indebted. We had the privilege of seeing him in action at the family potluck earlier this month. He was beaming with pride and joy as he encouraged and played alongside his students – for they are all his students, whether he taught them or not – his love of teaching and music is the fabric that weaves everyone at Markham’s School or Rock together. An inspiration to us all, he will be sorely missed. Peter, Seta, Jack, & Alex Tanner

I am so sorry to hear about Henry's passing. Henry taught my brother and me guitar when we were kids, and we always enjoyed his lessons, as well as his warmth, kindness, compassion, and sense of humour. Our hearts go out to his family.

Shelly and Family, When Allan informed me of Henry’s sudden passing, the news stunned me. I have had the opportunity to hear the eulogies given by Al, Rob and Paul. Very touching and true to Henry’s spirit. Brought me to tears. Many years ago Henry, Al and I shared many joyful moments – listening to music, buying records at Sam’s (Al and I one or two, Henry an armful), playing sports, especially ping pong in Henry’s infamous basement. After listening to the eulogies, it’s clear that Henry left his unique fingerprint of life on all of us that knew him – and I’m grateful that he did.

Dear Shelley, I just heard the devastating news of Henry's passing. His love and passion for music exemplified his true love for life, touching the heart and soul of everyone he shared his passion with. This passion of his, was a gift to all of us! I was in Toronto the week before his death. I could not find the time to touch base with him. I may never forgive myself for not seeing him one last time. He was a good friend, and his memory will live on in my heart forever! Please pass on my condolences to both Robbie and Paul as well.

I just heard this awful shocking news. I played hockey with Henry for many years. After every game, we sat and talked about rock music, the concerts we had gone to in the 70"s and 80's, the bands that we loved. (Jethro Tull had a special place in both of our hearts.) His knowledge of music of course, was right off the chart. A school of rock was custom made for him. He was indeed a very special person. Anyone who met him would know that right away. My sincere condolences to Shelly and the entire family.

Dear Shelly: I too am totally shocked to learn of this sad news, only today. I was one of Henry's best friends, (HT), years ago, while in school at Ryerson P.I. We were the closest of friends, constantly laughing, playing hockey, and partying! We lost touch, over the years, but I often catch myself thinking of the wonderful laughing times we had. I am so sorry to learn of this. My deepest condolences. DJ

Henry and I were classmates at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (now TMU) in the electronics engineering technology program and later workmates at the beginning of our careers. A terrific athlete — he could beat you at any racquet sport right- or left-handed — an audiophile and lover of the 70’s rock we shared as new albums came out. Weekend pickup road hockey was a thing for awhile as he welcomed this gentile into his circle of Al and friends. We lost touch in the mid 80’s (hence this late tribute as I only found this today and wondered what he was doing) but I still have an early Teitelman cabinet creation in my garage, yet another example of his restlessness to excel at anything he turned his hand to. Shalom, my old friend.
