In Loving Memory

The Life & Legacy
of Louis Henzi

March 20, 1934 – June 12, 2026

A devoted husband, father, and scientist, Louis Henzi spent his life in quiet, steadfast service to his family, his craft, and the people around him. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he was deeply proud of his Swiss heritage and his German roots. He built a distinguished career as a chemist and raised a family grounded in love, integrity, and enduring warmth.

Louis was a man of firm principles who walked a distinct line: he was a fierce defender of civil rights who stood firmly against bigotry, while remaining a staunch supporter of law enforcement—though he always maintained, with characteristic conviction, that they had better have a warrant. This is his story.
