The family of Tom Henry on Thursday announced details for the viewing and funeral of the late Fort Wayne mayor. Henry passed away late last month after a brief battle with stomach cancer.
A viewing will take place in the rotunda of the Allen County Courthouse on April 10-11 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. each day.
A final viewing will begin at 9 a.m. on April 12 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, followed by a funeral Mass at 10 a.m.
“We thank our community for the outpouring of love and support as we mourn the loss of Mayor Tom Henry,” the family said in a statement. “We will release more details in the coming days. Meantime, we ask for your continued prayers as well as for privacy.”
The 72-year-old mayor announced his cancer diagnosis in late February. Henry went into hospice care after a medical emergency related to his cancer on March 27. He passed away the following day.
