Guy Henry
Tullio Sr.
May 6, 1928 - May 30, 2022
May we all be blessed
to have lived a life like
Henry. Henry was born
May 6, 1928, in Somerset,
Colorado and passed
away May 20, 2022, in
Grand Junction, Colorado.
Henry lived in Delta and Somerset. As a kid he sold
newspapers on the streets of Delta to help out his family.
He had an incredible work ethic that he carried with
him his entire life.
Henry graduated from Paonia High School in 1946,
then went on to join the Navy. He saw active duty in
the South Pacific and Asia, at the end of WWII. He
never lost his love for traveling and was proud of the
fact that he saw much of the country. He loved his trips
to Europe, with one that included meeting first cousins
in Pescopagano, Italy, where his father, Frank was born
and raised.
Henry’s priorities were family, God, work, and at the
ripe old age of 58 took up the game of golf and played
until he was 93. Henry was a member of Sacred Heart
Catholic Church in Paonia that spanned close to 80
years, he was a member of the Benevolent Protective
Order of Elks in Hotchkiss for decades. He was also a
proud member of the United Mine Works of America
for over 75 years and served many years as treasurer of
local 6417.
He was preceded in death by his siblings. He is
survived by his wife, Barbra Ann (Lemoine) of 69+
years; his children, Guy Jr. (Kathleen), Candace (Mark)
Gritz, Craig (Carol), Christopher; his 10 grandchildren;
and 11 great grandchildren.
Henry’s Funeral Mass will be celebrated on June
15th, at noon at Sacred Heart Church in Paonia, with
a Rosary being said for the repose of his soul at 11:00
a.m. Interment will be at the VA Cemetery at Grand
Junction Colorado at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to HopeWest Hospice in
Grand Junction in Henry’s name is appreciated.
