FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) Friday, March 28, marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of Mayor Tom Henry. Henry was serving his fifth term as mayor when he died as a result of an on-going battle with cancer.
A ceremony for City of Fort Wayne employees and Mayor Henry's family has been scheduled
to take place at Citizens Square from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
Mayor Sharon Tucker is also requesting that flags in the city be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on March 28. In addition, residents of Fort Wayne are encouraged to observe a moment of silence at noon and local churches with bells are asked to ring the bells shortly after noon on Friday.“Much of the positive momentum, investments, and success we’re experiencing as a community through downtown revitalization, enhanced neighborhoods, and economic development growth are a direct result of Mayor Henry’s leadership and vision,” said Mayor Tucker. “We continue to miss Mayor Henry greatly. The upcoming ceremony is a small way for us to demonstrate our gratitude and appreciation for his outstanding public service.”
