SOUTH BEND - Henry A. "Slugger" Nye Jr., 54, passed away unexpectedly on September 10 at 4 p.m. in his residence.
Henry was born on August 30, 1953, in South Bend, to the late Henry A. and Darlene (Moir) Nye Sr. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Roseanne, on December 21, 2003.
He is survived by his sisters, Rosemary (Bob) Bauer of Queen Creek, AZ, Debbie Butler, Trulley (Dave) Bailey and Cathy (Tim) Schwenk, all of South Bend; many nieces and nephews; and by his companion, Sue Hammer.
Henry had worked for Goodyear as a mechanic. Since 1986 Henry had been a co-owner of L&H Catering with Linda Passwater at M.R.

He was a car enthusiast.
He graduated from LaSalle High School and Ivy Tech's Mechanic Program, and was a member of MR Falcon.
Henry was an exceptionally good cook. He had been well-known for many years for his Polish-style meals. Even though it has been said many times, it has never been more true that Henry was always there to help anyone in need. He will be greatly missed by all.

"A Beautiful Life"
A beautiful life
that came to an end,
he died as he lived,
everyone's friend.
In our hearts a memory
will always be kept,
of one we loved,
and will never forget.
