Biography

Henry's childhood during the 1930's was difficult due to his father's alcoholism and inability to hold a job. Henry was a Marine in World War II and Korea. After serving in the Marines, Henry joined the NYPD in 1952. Like his grandson, Danny, Henry is socially conservative and hates the political correctness of modern law & order. His wife Betty died December 2, 2001.

Henry had a hip replacement before Pilot. Due to his hip replacement, he had difficulty getting up from chairs during the first three episodes.

In Officer Down, Henry had a "war on cholesterol" before giving up in a "tactical retreat".[1] In the same episode, Henry discussed the old days when he was Commissioner, and the different expectations people had. He noted even criminals didn't respect cop-killers.

Henry used to play handball and now likes to watch it. Henry taught Danny how to play as well.[2]
