The family of Henry Q. Enrique has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor this Hero for his service to his country.  It will be our privilege to do so.

Henry Q. Enrique, 91, proudly served his country in the United States Navy for 23 years and 9 months from 1946 through 1970.  He served on the USS Prairie Destroyer and for his service he was awarded the following: Good Conduct Medal, 1 Bronze Star, National Defense Service Medal and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal.

After his retirement from the USN, Henry briefly worked part-time and went back to school to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree, majoring in Commerce.
 
Henry loved playing golf and has several trophies from golf tournaments he participated in. His other hobbies were bowling, fishing and watching basketball, boxing and football.  He loved cooking and always wanted to be the one to do all the cooking on the holidays, he maintained a fruit, vegetable and flower garden.  Another passion Henry had was his love for ballroom dancing with his wife Luz, between Henry and his wife they were always involved in their grand children activities and milestones.

Henry is survived by his wife Luz, siblings Felisa, Marcelino and Ricardo. Children, Marlyn, Judy, Alex,and Henry Jr. along with 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandson.
