John Michael “Mike” Henry, longtime Seattle mechanical contractor, passed away at his home in Henderson, Nevada, on April 4 at age 84. Henry spent his formative years in Kitsap County. In 1952, his family moved to Moses Lake and his father founded Moses Lake Sheet Metal, where John first worked as an apprentice sheet metal worker, then advanced to estimating and project management. He took over the business in 1963 after his father died in an industrial accident. Five years later, he sold the business and moved to the Bay Area, where he was a junior partner at Valley Sheet Metal. He later returned to the Seattle area to open John Henry's Renton Sheet Metal, and had stints with Sweeney Mechanical, PSF Fabricators and Key Mechanical Co. of Washington. Henry also owned TRC Inc. for 14 years until 1996, and worked as a marketing consultant to mechanical and electrical contractors until his death. He had a hand in many notable projects, including Paccar's headquarters, SeaTac Mall and the three Renton Place office buildings.
