Purchasing their house in the spring of 2000, they decided Tulsa is the place they would call home.Todd became better known as 'PaPa' on October 4, 2005 when Alisha added to their family her son, Anthony Emmanuel Henry. Anthony quickly became PaPa's world. Todd's enjoyment of being outside rubbed off on Anthony. Whether it was playing on the swing set, golfing, going to the park or just sitting outside the QuikTrip eating hotdogs and people watching, these two were inseparable. He continued his career as a Field Quality Control Inspector with Globe X-Ray services until he went to John Zink in May 2011. In his free time he enjoyed golfing, fishing and rooting for his favorite teams the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Dallas Cowboys. However, he was happiest spending time with his family.
