Henry House, Jr.

Henry House, Jr., 94, of Beaumont, died Tuesday, January 26, 2021. He was born on December 20, 1926, in Reklaw, Texas, to Ada Channel House and Henry Hughes House.

“Jr.”, to all who knew him, spent his life as a hardworking family man, providing and caring for his wife and four daughters. He was a stoic and proud veteran of World War II. Though an exceptionally skilled welder and avid yard and groundskeeper for many, nothing brought him more pleasure or pride than his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. If you were newly born into the family, you could count on spending hours rocking in the big chair with Pawpaw and if you were a new parent, you were always assured of having a trusted and very economical babysitter.

Bearden; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
