Edward James Henvy, Jr, 51, of Sandy Hook, died May 17.

He was born in Hempstead, N.Y., August 15, 1951, beloved son of the late Edward J. and Elizabeth (Touhey) Henvy. He moved to Danbury as a young boy, attending Danbury schools, and was a graduate of Danbury High School. He was a manager at SNET and was a valued employee with the company for more than 23 years.

From an early age he was a lover of animals, always showing them extreme kindness and care. He successfully trained for many years with the Housatonic Police and Schutzhund Club of Oxford. His skills with and love for his dogs was apparent in everything he did.

He will always be remembered as a true and loyal friend, who never failed to offer support in time of need. He was warmhearted with a good soul, and will be deeply missed by his many friends and family.
