(The following is from the "Eagle Flyer" - Spring 2013)
«i»Henry passed into the arms of the angels on January 18, 2013, at the age of 82. A deeply religious man, he devoted himself to his faith and family. Henry leaves behind a legacy of a life well lived.
He was born April 26, 1930, and grew up in Wenatchee, Washington. He was the eldest of six children born to Henry H. Munro and Mildred Janes Munro. In his youth, he achieved both Eagle Boy Scout and Eagle Sea Scout awards, and later volunteered years of leadership in the Boy Scouts. He led skill classes, fishing and camping expeditions, as well as Boy Scout organization efforts. His love of the outdoors continued throughout his lifetime and was evident in his work and his wildly, exuberant love of fishing. He met the love of his life, Vallena, at Wenatchee High School. After spending months frightening his brothers by burning the candle at both ends with employment and courtship, he came to his senses and proposed to Vallena.
Henry was a master builder and owner of Munro Custom Homes, building luxury homes and commercial buildings throughout the Columbia River Valley. His favorite building moment was holding his 14-foot story stick and shouting at the owners "OK... now, where do you want your front door?" He'd eyeball where they pointed and then proceed to ticking off 10 - 20 mysterious chalk marks on the stick - footings, basement, ring joist, this layer and that. Then, he'd call in the diggers and lay out his favorite part of the building, the basement, which would be true, strong, smooth, and exactly the right depth to keep the front door at ground level (with no steps). After retiring from home building, Henry threw his energy into Munro and Son Orchard in Orondo, Washington in 1990. Additionally for may years he volunteered in the Orondo Fire District #4 as a fireman, a commissioner, and a volunteer contractor to build their Firehouse #4.
Henry was born in direct lineage from the Chiefs of Clan Munro of Foulis. In 1997, he received a Matriculation of Personal Arms (direct blood descendant) from the Lord Lyon Court in Scotland. With the support of Vallena, he was very active in Clan Munro gatherings and games. He served as a Board Member and then President of the Clan Munro Association USA, Inc. he and his family made multiple journeys to Scotland to support his Clan. He loved wearing his kilt, hosting the Munro Tent at gatherings and games in Arizona and Washington, and proudly displaying his personal Arms flag.
Henry was married for 63 years and is survived by his loving wife, one son, Henry Michael Munro; three daughters, Susan Munro Towne, Deborah Munro Ortis and Frances Munro; five grandchildren; multiple great-grandchildren; and extended family. According to his daughter, Susan, Henry will be adored, remembered and missed forever.
