IDP Statement on the Passing of Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry

The Indiana Democratic Party released the following statement from Chair Mike Schmuhl on the passing of Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry:

“We mourn the loss of our longtime friend and dedicated public servant, Mayor Tom Henry.

“Mayor Henry embodied his city every single day, and he also transformed it during his historic tenure as mayor. Through charm, grit, humor and hard work, he led his hometown for over 16 years straight, a record.

“While we grieve his passing and send our sincerest condolences to his beloved family, friends and the entire Fort Wayne community, we are also filled with peace knowing he is reunited with his partner in life, Cindy Henry.

“Fort Wayne is a strong city, and it was made stronger because of the Henrys’ four decades of public service. Its future remains bright, and we have no doubt the city’s people will come together in the days ahead to build on the vision and accomplishments of Mayor Henry.”
