Henry was the son of Anna Bell Bray Scott and was born in Virginia on June 10, 1947. Henry was an employee of Tennessee Valley Packing Company and had also worked at Porter Walker. He was a Christian and a member of House of Prayer Baptist Church. He enjoyed helping out around the church building and was considered family by the members of the congregation.

In general he loved all God's creatures, even caring for the stray cats at the horse barn. Sadly, Firecracker had passed away a few weeks before Henry.
